I forgot to post about something in my last post. As some of you all my know Jillian the youngest of my nieces, she is 5, has epilepsy. But my sister, Cathy, took her daughter Jacqueline, who is 7, to be evaluated at the doctor for ADD and ADHD and they think that she has ADHD but they also believe she may be bi-polar. If she is bi-polar this is, in my opinion, scarier than epilepsy is, because epilepsy you can grow out of and if you don't there are medications that can control it. But, with a bi-polar disorder, atleast from what I understand, it is something you do not grow out of and even though there are medications out there for it there effectives can sometimes be questionable. A cousin of my has a son who is bi-polar, if I remember correctly he is 10 or 11 years old and they are having all sorts of problems with him. He wants to kill himself because he can't take it. They have to send letters to the school to let them know to be careful with the kid because if they set him off somehow he can turn violent. Though its not guaranteed that she is bi-polar yet and I am assuming there will be more test in the not so distant future to find out for sure. Only can hope she is not.
