Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 It would help if I re-introduced my family. I'm Mom to 4 (10) Aspergers, ADD, CAPD ( needs a new doctor but we are having insurance problems. We meet the SNAP committee wednesday) (6) Pdd-HFA (depends on who's report you read) Bi-Polar, ADD, Anxiety issues, Hypersensitive hearing. (4 1/2) PDD but I'm starting to think it's more along the lines of CAPD and only Language issues. I don't know, the child is a mystery to me. Adeline (2), just a typical girl that keeps mommy very busy. On Sat, 16 Oct 2004 08:00:55 -0400, Rajnert <my3apsons@...> wrote: > Hi, > I'm also in the Hudson Valley.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 How about educating yourself. While you have every right to feel whatever you want, education is the key. Scientists have known what Lithium does and how it effects patients longer then anyother drug, used for the same purpose. There is very little evidence on how many drugs help and work within the human brain.
