Guest guest Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hi Sara What age is Tom? The reason I ask is that boys can have an issue that arises at puberty as they migrate from infantile brain to adult brain.. so this is sometimes why teenage boys can go from sensible adult behaviour to irrational two year old tantrums. My eldest has had a problem with his migration.. and it is often as if there are two personalities.. with lots of highs and lows Tracey Hi, Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of bi-polar?I'm just wondering (with no knowledge/ background whatsoever) if Tom might be bi-polar.He spends long periods being v. distant (maybe months) and then comes back to us but also does definitely get manic. He's manic now.He doesn't really get hyper, but he definitely gets manic.Any thoughts???Sara x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hi Tracey, no he's only 7 and he's always been like this - even pre-regression (after MMR) as a little baby -I mean with us sometimes and not others - v. changeable - can't remember when the manic style thing started. > > > > > > > Hi, Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of bi-polar? > > I'm just wondering (with no knowledge/ background whatsoever) if Tom > > might be bi-polar. > > He spends long periods being v. distant (maybe months) and then comes > > back to us but also does definitely get manic.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 She's into biomed stuff. Off the top of my head (and I could be wrong) I think she talks about oils. Actually scrap that I think I'm wrong. It might be a vitamin she recommends. She might say on her website. Chrisx oh has she? I didn't know that! I'll definitely have a look.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 A thought Sara, has he ever been assessed for epilepsy or has he had his blood sugar levels monitored? With some seizures there can be very withdrawn behaviour.. and then very contrasting behaviour without the normally recognised shaking or choking sounds.. and also with blood sugar as a sudden change in behaviour can cause manic behaviour.. Tash has really unbalanced blood sugar when she was little as well as lots of very unusual behaviours.. most noticeable after she regressed at 2. Trace How is he when manic?

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Vicky, I've no idea. I've never been down this path. I don't know where to start to get a diagnosis or anything. Any ideas? Trancey, epilepsy is a definite possibility - I think he used to have absence seizure and I also think they're gone though I can't be sure of either of those to be honest. Where would I go to find out more? Caroline, it's quite hard for me to describe without using the word manic. In fact I've just paused for quite a while trying to think of how to describe it. The best I can come up with is he's often distant, quiet and not there, he can come round quite suddenly and be very present but that can also escalate to a level where he's gone back to his own world. He's also ridiculously, ridiculously sensitive to everything which I don't think is evidence of bipolar, just thought I'd add it.
