Hi Holymama, I can empathize with your concern with your daughter. My daughter was diagnosed Bipolar when she was about 16 but by a therapist that believed that she was Bipolar by example. That she lived following my example of life. If so, then why was she medicated? Now she is grown, decided she is not really bipolar (she is a clone of me), is married and has a 2 yr old that is the 3rd generation "cloning" of me. Very bright, very charismatic, very scary. My daughter angers so easily over the subject and is living a troubled life, but I can't get near enough to help and my grandbaby is not fortunate enough yet to have a mother that is in "tune" with what we are heading towards.
My oldest son is Bipolar but was burnt out when he was young with the ignorance of the subject and all the Ritalin and ADHD diagnosis', hospitalizations and treatments to no avail. He now is a severe case and I can't get him near help. I wish I had known then what I know now. Your knowlege will go a long way with your daughter.
Best of luck to you
Paris
