Oh. Duh. My sister said she is not going to offer any more advice or input because my nephew doesn't seem to appreciate it. He's gone from talking about leaving her to tolerating it.

Funny, someone mentioned why it took so long for me to get diagnosed. From the time I was a teenager, I have been to shrink after shrink, and noone figured out the bipolar part until I was 40 years old. Guess my lack of control and the fact I went to one of the best in the country had something to do with it. heehee. I had been diagnosed as a child with ADHD, which is mistakenly diagnosed in a LOT of bipolar cases. I was also diagnosed with OCD, the funny thing being that now that I'm on the lithium, the OCD is not nearly as bad as it used to be. I got a whale of a story for ya, maybe one day when I have plenty of time, I'll relate my wild and crazy life! Later guys!

I had similar problems getting diagnosed - I was in my 40's before I finally found someone that understood what was the cause of my bizarre life, and I found him because I had pretty well figured it out myself and went searching for someone who specialized in that area.

Makes you wonder about the mental health field

Dianne - I guess there really isnt anything your sister can do but back off -- lets just hope nothing more serious comes of this !!!
