DescriptionUp until five years ago, the professional community did not think that bipolar disorder occurred in children. Children with symptoms of bipolar disorder were diagnosed as "severe ADHD", "depressed" or "oppositional defiant".

As it is frequently found in combination with ADHD, Tourette Syndrome and Asperger's syndrome, the author draws on case-studies from his own psychotherapeutic practice to show what these conditions have in common, how they differ, and how they related to each other. This book tackles the most difficult decisions parents can face, including whether to involve police or consider hospitalisation if their children are a danger to themselves and their families. At he same time, it emphasises the positive qualities these children often have and illustrates how their gifts and abilities can build their self-esteem and help them function better in society. However severe the child's symptoms, this book will provide guidance, support and inspiration for parents and carers as well as being a useful resource for professionals working with the families who suffer as a result of this disorder. |

is it time to give up and stop wasting peoples time?
I have been seeing my key worker for nearly a year, she has referred me to CBT which my first session is in 2 weeks. I have been doing some research about it and they usually give you 5 to 10 sessions and i really don't think this will help me.
I will always feel the way i do because of everything that has happened in my childhood so now i really don't think it will make any difference if i go. My key worker will be disappointed if i don't go but i don't want to waste their time when i am certain it won't make a difference. If i don't go then will my key worker give up on me? I am so scared about going.
I have a mood disorder, low self esteem and social anxiety. I have a very big attachment to my keyworker and i tell myself the relationship with her will end one day i stand don't want to believe it. So even if i do go to CBT i will not stop the attachment feeling i have towards her so i will end up getting worse when she stops my sessions with her. I really don't know what to do?
CBT is good for you, and if you let it work and have an open mind and have a person who know what they are doing it will be fine. Your key worker will not give up on you. It is their job to be there for you. That's is what they are for, and that why they do their job. She will support you. But go on and in 2 weeks give that CBT a shot with an open mind! The CBT is supposed to help with the attachment feeling, they work with you on that, and she will work with your key worker on slowly detaching when that time comes. It is hard but you will be able to get through it.
