"Bipolar disorder (previously known as manic depression) is a psychiatric diagnostic category describing a class of mood disorders in which the person experiences clinical depression and/or mania, hypomania, and/or mixed states. The disorder can cause great distress among those afflicted and those living with them. Left untreated, bipolar disorder can be a disabling condition, with a high risk of death through suicide."
"The difference between bipolar disorder and unipolar disorder (also called major depression) is that bipolar disorder involves both elevated and depressive mood states. The duration and intensity of mood states varies widely among people with BiPolar disorder. Fluctuating from one mood state to the next is called "cycling". Mood swings can cause impairment or improved functioning depending on their direction (up or down) and severity (mild to severe). There can be changes in one's energy level, sleep pattern, activity level, social rhythms and cognitive functioning. Some people with Bipolar disorder may have difficulty functioning during these times."

oh shit!!! ((((((((((BPG))))))))) I am so sorry hun. Having had the experience of trying to keep a daughter alive who did NOT want to be alive I am so very very sorry for what you are going thru. I think that was THE abosolutely most painful time of my life and I know from personal experience just how horrific it is. As a parent you feel you are supposed to be able to fix things and then suddenly you cant and its so very very hard. I had to have my daughter comitted at one point and the memory of that still haunts me. However there is hope. Teenagers do grow out of it some and they do get better. Mine did even tho for a long time I honestly thought I was going to lose her. Feel free to email or Im me if you ever want to talk.
