Two year old with bipolar ?

Question

We started to notice something was wrong when our daughter was a year old. We took her to a psychiatrist and he prescribed her Lithium, Seroquel and Luvox.

Now he think that she might have ADHD too.

She cries all the time! Even when we put a pillow over her to keep her quiet.

HELP! It is driving us crazy! We cannot control our child!!!!

Answer 1

Something like that doesnt even sound like a joke these days, wait a few years and thats the kinda stuff your really gonna be hearing!

Answer 2

First off - do NOT put a pillow over her head to quiet her.

You have to set boundaries and show her what is and is not acceptable. Show her better ways to handle her emotions. Its a lot easier said then done, but you have to be strong, you are the parent and she cannot learn to walk all over you. If you think its bad now, in a few years its only going to get a lot worse if you dont get control of the situation.

Make sure she has actual activities to do. Make certain times a desginated time - like dress-up, coloring, keep her busy with actual activities, not just running wild. Spend time with her, one on one time is very important for kids of any age.

i'm prettysure that a two year old can't bee on that much medication and i think that it would kill your daughter and if that doesn't kill your daughter i'm thinking that putting the pillow over her head will. and two years old is to young to diagnose with bipolar. adhd i might maybe go for if the doctor is kinda bad. so iam pretty sure that if this is a real question that you should probably just take some parenting classes. that might help. and don't give your child those kind of medications and don't put a pillow over her head. good luck

Answer 4

Like all the others I certainly hope to hell you are just joking. If a doctor really prescribed all those medications for a two year old than that doctor is a quack! Go to another doctor...a medical doctor not a psychiatist. I sure hope you aren't planning on having other children! Sounds like parenting is too difficult for you to deal with. Take your child off those meds and for christ sake stop putting a pillow over her head...you should be taking those meds!!!!

Answer 5

Did you take her to her doctor to find out if something is physically wrong? I would start there. Then I would get a referal to a doctor who specializes in children with behavior problems. They should be able to help you deal with your daughter. And I don't suggest you put a pillow over her to keep her quiet, that would make most two year olds cry.

Answer 6

IF THIS IS A JOKE IT IS NOT AT ALL FUNNY. I am the mother of a four year old son with bipolar and we get enough criticism from so many people saying that a child his age should not be diagnosed, and on medication. He really has it, and I don't appreciate your joke. Nobody could understand what it is like to raise a child with bipolar, or the struggles that a family as a whole goes through with these children. You are not funny at all.

Answer 7

Wow... this better be a joke because there are so many things wrong with this question.
First and foremost... A pillow over her....
Secondly, a 2 year old can not be diagnosed as having bipolar disorder. Not possible.
Instead of taking her to see a psychiatrist, maybe you should be the one going...
Please please please let this be a joke, If not, you REALLY need to get help before you hurt her or even kill her. Leave her with someone she will be safe with and collect yourself for a few hours. Don't endanger her life or your future.

Answer 8

What was wrong with your daughter? Did she need to run wild through a flower field?...does she need a 'spanking' to make her stop being out of control?...you put a damn pillow over her to keep her quiet?..sounds like YOU need the drugs,..or maybe that is the problem...why don't you solve the problem and adopt her out..so you can have some peace and quiet? My my, I know this has to be a joke..God forgive me, if it isn't

Answer 9

ninety% leans in the route of no. children are moody, and that is not any longer what bipolar sickness is about. that's no longer a severe mood swing. that's a second of insanity that leads to severe melancholy. It became referred to as manic depressive, because the "satisfied" state is so satisfied, that's actually mania. An party of the manic state I heard in a type once which continually stuck with me became that of a guy who became in a manic state and determined that he became so tremendous and he had this outstanding plan to remodel his sister's homestead. He ended up really destroying it because he couldn't concentration on one project lengthy sufficient to finish it, and earlier it became all reported and finished he'd entered a severe state of melancholy. numerous medical doctors will allow you to comprehend that you'll diagnose those products early with the intention to promote the drugs. And a issue we are operating into now might want to be father and mother all choose low-dose diagnoses for his or her little ones that enables you to get drugs to calm them down at the same time as they could't take care of them. actually, someone won't be able to be clinically determined with a sickness like bipolar sickness till they have reached a minimum of 18 years of age because till then the mind remains replacing and arising.

Answer 10

She is two! She is too young to be able to diagnose bipolar disorder or any other mental illness. Two year olds don't need to be controlled, they need to grow and develop. and quit placing a pillow over her before you kill her! If you can't deal with the ups and downs of parenthood you shouldn't be parents.

Answer 11

I certainly think you are kidding. Those drugs are not recommended for a child of that age. And hopefully, if you have a child, you do not put a pillow over her head to stop her.
