Treating Children with Bipolar Disorder.

Diagnosing bipolar disorder in a young child may be very challenging.  The symptoms are almost identical to ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).  Even healthy children may exhibit certain symptoms from time to time simply because of youthful exuberance.  Be very careful with certain medications which may even trigger mania in children.

Generally bipolar disorder manifests itself in teenagers and young adults.  This is a difficult diagnosis.  Some experts on the subject believe that it is over-diagnosed while many do not.  No one is absolutely certain how common it is.  One thing is for sure…DO NOT JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS!  Severe outbursts of temper do not necessarily indicate bipolar disorder.

Seek out the council of children’s bipolar disorder, Doctor Steven Sussman.  If your child behaves in such a manner as to indicate he or she may have this malady or one related to it do not trust the advice of a friend or the internet for answers.  Dr. Sussman has offices in Mountainside New Jersey and Staten Island NY.  With your child’s future at stake call him today at (908) 217 8106.

Are you in a Dysfunctional Relationship with your Child?

From the outside looking in the signs seem obvious.  Your teenage daughter is engaging in aberrant behavior.  Maybe this is combined by substance abuse.  Above all there is instability.  You may have a teenager in your life who threatens to hurt herself or run away from home.  What is the real core of the problem?

There is a reason that your daughter is acting out in this manner.  She may be re-enacting a relationship flaw that she saw her parents engage in.  Perhaps an older sibling tormented her.  It is possible that she  has experienced “emotional blackmail” such as withholding love if the child does not behave the way you wished.  Who is ruling the house? 

Dr. Steven Sussman treats many types of the behavioral problems of families whose children exhibit  dysfunctional behavior.  For your convenience, he has offices in Mountainside New Jersey and Staten Island NY.  Dr. Sussman is a New York and New Jersey behavior therapist who will help your family bond again.  Make an appointment now by giving him a call at (908) 217 8106.
