我十几岁的孩子停止服用精神药物

我是一个患有躁郁症的人，谢谢你。
我12岁开始出现症状，我有躁狂发作，然后突然摔倒，第一次试图自杀。我妈不相信精神疾病，也没给我做过诊断。16岁时，我曾试图自杀。
我终于在21岁的时候被诊断出来了，并接受了药物治疗，但并不奏效。22岁时，我停药后又一次自杀未遂躁狂发作，然后崩溃了。然后我开始服药，但似乎都不起作用，直到29岁，我尝试了锂，它让我变得稳定。
我没有药物给我带来了很多困难(2万美元的债务和其他一些大的东西)，所以你谈论这个是很好的，因为你想让你的孩子成功，而当他们对药物缺乏信心时，这是很难做到的。
我今年36岁，因为我的躁郁症，我经历了很多。我仍然有轻微的波动，但没有像过去那样剧烈。我如何保持成功是1。药2。我在同一时间起床，同一时间吃饭，同一时间睡觉。轻度运动(过多或过长时间会引起我的狂躁)我通常会注意我的饮食，没有什么是禁忌的，但我确保我达到了水，蔬菜和水果的指导方针。

大家好，我对不同的精神疾病和自闭症做了很多研究。其中一个基本事实就是食物。人类的大脑不处理防腐剂，而如今，大多数食用的食物都含有防腐剂。麦当劳可能是人们能吃到的最糟糕的食物。我的前女友有一个小儿子，她说他患有多动症。当他喝可乐或吃垃圾食品时，他的变化非常明显。尽管我尽力了，甚至把阅读材料给了她，她还是拒绝承认这个问题。你真的得看看一个人的饮食。我们今天生活的社会正在吃完全错误的食物。新鲜的水果和蔬菜，大量的水，限制糖的摄入。 Soft drinks especially have a huge impact on the brain. Fanta or Sunkist are really bad because of the colouring in them. I work as a support worker and see these issues all the time. I worked with a young bloke, who, when he had consumed Pepsi Max, would have bad behaviours. The sugar replacement is even worse.

这是我的儿子，但他告诉所有人他不会也不会吃任何药。它们让他变得愚蠢，而不是真实的自己。我们去哪里寻求帮助????他在高中接受了60天最好的治疗，他们没有地方可以长期接受他，每年低于10万美元。因为他现在也不会吃药。他可能很危险!!!!我不想让他回家。

我很荣幸能读到你所有的故事。凯特，你的故事真正打动我的是他现在所处的积极的落脚点。我敢打赌，你们对他的担心很难摆脱，因为你们所有人都经历了这样一段充满挑战的旅程……但是真的很哇!你已经成功地支持了不止一个孩子，而是三个孩子走出了重大挑战的另一边，成为最稳定、积极的成年人。我充满了钦佩。干杯,萨拉

我一直在这条路上走，现在已经6个月了，我的儿子依从了药物，每天我都害怕他会因为体重增加或其他副作用而拒绝。医生一直在降低药物剂量，所以我们会看到....但我完全理解你，凯蒂。

读这个故事，让我非常非常感动
更多的伤心!那是我，她儿子是" me "

凯特，谢谢你分享你的故事。作为一个强迫症孩子的母亲，我能感同身受。即使生活有时看起来很完美，但这样的状态不会持续太久。我们面临的挑战是巨大的，你们已经在这些挑战面前收获良多。

我也有个儿子被诊断为躁郁症。他小时候患有多动症，聪明过人，考试成绩也高得惊人，但他从不和其他孩子打成一片(他是个书呆子，讨厌的家伙)，不是因为他聪明，而是因为他无法融入社会。生活就像坐过山车一样，我另外两个年幼的孩子在社交、学业、情感上都很“正常”，脾气也很“平和”。随着时间的推移，我的大儿子患上了快速循环的双相情感障碍，他会一连几天不睡觉，变得极度抑郁，到处都是。他的高潮是非常高的，他的低谷是可怕的。他以全班第一的成绩从高中毕业，是致告别词的学生代表，但在情感上很内向。我不知道早餐时我能吃到什么而晚餐时他会是另一个人。他获得了四所精英大学的全额奖学金。他决定不上大学了。说到心碎。 I won't go into how we found this out as it's a long story but it was full of lies and deception to his father and me. He escalated 3 weeks before high school graduation and my husband told him to leave. He (my son) hit me for the first time. I was heartbroken, but the violent behavior and his dismissal and denial of what was going on had become too much. He moved out of the family home and into an apartment with a friend. He stopped taking medications all together because he didn't like the way they made him feel. He then refused to have anything to do with the family for 3 years. Those were a very difficult 3 years; however, we still had 2 children in the home that needed and wanted parents. We kept tabs on our son through friends, although at one time we thought we would have to legally intervene and sought counsel re guardianship, if nothing more than financial and medical management. Our fears, our love, our compassion were all tested. He came back into the fold, only to leave again after 3 months. This time his no contact was 2.5 years and then my husband suddenly died (no illness, sudden cardiac death). I reached out to my oldest son. His initial response was with tears and emotion, then alcohol and pot. I told him the alcohol had to stop, he complied in my presence. My other two children went to grief counseling for one year. My eldest went for one visit, despite my offer of paying for grief counseling for one year. His drinking and smoking pot escalated as he was self-medicating. Now as a single parent, my goal is to remain in touch letting him know I am here for him. I have seen growth in his late 20s. He still refuses medication. He smokes pot occasionally and drinks occasionally. This is progress. He has worked since he was out of the home and I'm proud to say he keeps his jobs and always makes great moves in advancement when he goes from one job to the other. He makes over $100k per year at 27 years old, with no college education. He is doing well in the real world. His head still hurts, he still doesn't sleep. He drinks energy drinks when he's depressed and he smokes pot when he's manic. I've had to let go and love him just the way he is. It's not perfect, but he has his own home, manages it well, gets up and goes to and from work every day, makes good money, socializes with his group of friends, and is now in touch with me, his younger brother, and his younger sister. It's not perfect, it's less than pretty, but it works. I do not see the flashes of anger, the temper, the threats or any violence anymore. Fashioning knives out of broken glass at school and stabbing a student in the hand, throwing rocks at a "popular girl's" head ... those days are gone and I hope and pray my son is on the road to recovery. I keep close tabs on him but I never feel it's close enough. You never stop being a mother or parenting. You want to keep them safe and keep others safe. I've skipped over a lot of details re doctors and psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, counselors, two school districts, four schools, testing, fights, tears, and so much more. I understand. You are not alone. Many hugs to you and yours from one who gets it all too well.
