Answer 1

Okay lets see if I can help here. As the mom of a child with BP I know it is hard, but there is some good support stuff on the web. I will have to do some research. Feel free to email me if you need anymore help.

Here are some great place to start, join and they can help hook you up with information, local chapters, good doctors, supports etc....

http://www.bpkids.org/site/PageServer
This is the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation.

National Alliance on Mental Illness is also a good place to go.

http://www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/bipolarupdate.cfm
Check out the National Institute of Mental Health

I also strongly suggest reading the Bipolar Child
http://www.bipolarchild.com/

These are good starting points. It can take a while to find the right meds to help the child. My daughter had done pretty well all of them over the years, she is just 11 now. But we got her stable about 2 ½ years ago. Life is so much better. All you can do is keep trying. I strongly recommend the first two organizations, been involved with both of them and their support groups. I know that at least one of them lists Doctors and I am sure both of them list local organizations. Both of them also offer excellent support groups. There are also some decent ones on Yahoo groups, but these are the ones to go to, specially CABF.

Good luck, it is a hard battle. My daughter just had her Risperdol levels go out of wack and the voices told her to kill me, not easy living with an unstable child. At least this one was fast and easy fix.

Answer 2

who's submission is the ideal? I undergo in suggestions whilst Baron Von Rashke's Claw became a tournament ender! there are countless previous-college submissions that have been useful, to be certain! Verne Gagne's Sleeper, the Camel snatch, Baron's Claw, Kerry Von Eric's Claw,(I specific do pass over the Von Eric's via the way!). i admire Chris Benoit's Crippler flow Face, now well-known in basic terms via fact the flow Face, Ric Flairs parent 4 became and is rather useful, yet i might would desire to declare that The Undertaker's new submission is the main devastating right this moment. perhaps of all time! a minimum of for now, besides! i'm conscious that there are countless strikes that I even have not suggested, some which could additionally be greater devastating, yet who can checklist all of them? Heck, who would desire to undergo in suggestions all of them, appropriate? only one guy's evaluations!
