First, let me thank Scott, Janice and Judy for the extended info and thoughts. The citations that Scott dug up are very interesting, a little much for my brain, but should prove interesting when I bring them in. Janice, I went to the website for bipolar children and have printed off a bunch of stuff to bring to my daughters p-doc. Great stuff, I truly appreciate the time and effort. Thank you all!
Second, actually saw my p-doc this afternoon, and he informed me of his departure for sunny skies UCLA way. I have one last appointment with him in six weeks and then he's gone. He said I should be able to transfer my care over to one of his associates, so that should prove interesting to say the very least. I had already tried to transfer but had been told that none of them were taking on any more, run in me circles while we're at it I guess :-)
On another note, I used to find my depressions so much worse than my up-up-up-and-away mania's, but for the last five or so years, my mania's have been so mixed with aggressive depression and energetic hopelessness, that I find them much more dangerous for my safety. Possibly I am actually depressed and it's not manic, but it sure feels like some kind of evil malignant mania possessing me.
Anyway, thanks everybody, you're all wonderful!
