@HMom16 so grateful to your daughter for being brave enough to consult a lawyer. Every individual who stands up, helps others. Her work ethic should be applauded as well.
@whidbeyite2002 loved your post. I often like to say that my daughter was lucky in some ways to be diagnosed so early, because she has had years to accumulate experience and strategies for managing her bipolar 1. Still on Lithium but dose is much lower than the original dose! (Lithium affects kidneys and thyroid and I know two older adults who had to go off, one still on dialysis. But there really is no other good option for many.)
