what are you doing giving advice about bipolar? There was never such things as child bipolar id iot?
They have even recently given a new name to replace the diagnosis. Stop trying to make money off bipolar when you know nothing and probably dont even have it.
I will end you now. Life’s mission unless you apologize for your ignorance.

Hello David, Though I’m at the point in my career that I don’t feel the need to explain my bipolar disorder experience- considering that I wrote my first book in 1998 and have written seven so far- I will say that I must ask you to keep your comments constructive instead of inflammatory. I’m a human being with bipolar disorder and reading this type of comment is hard. I could just delete it, but I won’t. You have the right to your opinion. If you have read my books or have ever had a session with me if your child has bipolar disorder, I am sorry I didn’t explain myself better. If you had worked with me you would know that I consider the diagnosis of childhood bipolar disorder very rare- but it definitely exists as the over 100 families I’ve worked with over the years can attest to. The most common form of bipolar disorder starts in the late teens. When I see someone with symptoms before the teen years, then the idea of childhood bipolar disorder is discussed. There has NOT been a replacement diagnosis. Instead, true childhood bipolar is in one category and the children with extended crying spells, irritation, depression, opposition, ADHD and other mood instability all in one are now not just thrown into the childhood bipolar disorder diagnosis incorrectly and put on meds they don’t need. The new diagnosis will help!
The internet has become a place where we randomly criticize the work of others without knowing the whole story. If you would like me to send you my books, let me know and I will. As of now, my goal is to protect myself and readers from those on the internet who judge others without thinking of the consequences. I’m serious about the book offer. Just let me know! Julie
PS: Regarding the article in this blog post- the CHILD in the title refers to an adult child with the illness living at home. Not a young child. I’m not sure you read the article- if so, let me know if you disagree with the points in the article. I’m ALWAYS open to a debate about what I write. A child remains a child to a parent no matter what age.
