I have a 12 year old daughter and she has been diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, and BiPolar disorder.  Within the last year her rages to her 6 year old sister have been getting worse. She hits her, bites, shoves, kicks, anything you can think of she can probably done. A few nights ago I almost had to take her to the ER to have her evaluated. I would have but my huband would not allow it. He is a turck driver and doesnt see her rages. I am home with the 2 girls almost all the time and i truly dont know what to do. She has an IEP at school but it is just for her school work, She is not like this at school at all. She has developed headaches lately that seem to be migranes. She has left bruises on her sister when she is in her rages and I am truly scared that someone will call children and family services and think I did that. I have talked to my Pastor about this and he has a suggestion about a christian childrens home. I have talked to my husband about this and he says no way because we would have to give up custody of our child. My fear too is they may not be able to take on my child.

I didnt know until I started reading other peoples messages that I am not the only one who forgets what i am saying in the middle of saying it. I have been diagnosed Bipolar type 2 for 21/2 yrs and not understanding why I do that. My mom says that it is the depression talking.  It is so frustrating to get my thoughts out.  I cant remember names but I can picture them. I am 32 and this is a bit scary to me. I take Lexapro and Topamax right now and I know that they are not working. I am tring to find a good Psychiatrist, not an easy task. My 12 yr old daughter has adhd, odd, and is bipolar. she has started violent rages toward her 6 yr old sister. I want to get her all the help she needs but my husband is holding me back. Does anyone have advice?

my daughter takes adderal XR and risperdal. right now they dont work
