Hey Kerry,
me mum first decompensated when I was about 10. It was strange. I don't thing there is any way for kids that age to understand.
It is hard to say what the effect is. Have actually explored that quite a bit in regressive therapy & come to the conclusion that it is mainly a matter of her being gone from time to time in hospital. Perhaps that is where part of my anxiety comes from. Probably a seperation /abandonment neurosis.
Guess, I am lucky that my moods do not change that quickly. The panics are very infrequent & well controlled by the meds. Base anxiety is a bitch tho. I get the shakes & can't do much, write or hold a screwdriver. The beta blockers have helped that a lot. Much less tremor.
Guess we all must be different. My pdoc finds me strange. No episodic panic but shakes /tremor where I can hardly write, etc.
Oh well ? things are better & looking up.
Dx ? Anxiety, panic & depression.
Meds ? celexa, pindolol, & buspar ( just started buspar ) The celexa has worked pretty well. Was on zoloft last year & it did not work as well.
Courses ? several in pharmacology & neurophysiology, yrs ago.
