My son, Jordan, had bp behaviors from birth. He screamed from the day he was born till well it still happens today. We didn't know what was wrong with him and everyone kept trying to tell me that he just had colic. I bought into that for about six months and then asked the doc what was wrong with him. We went the next 7 years without an answer. Finally we had him seen by a pdoc and after 3 hospitalzations we found out he was bp. I wish we would have thought to do it earlier. I grew up in a family that didn't think that mental illness was real. After having Jordan diagonsed I now realize that my mom and sister have bp behaviors too.

However like Michelle said you need to rule out the things that mimic bp. Also you need to look at your family history to see if anyone else has bp or has bp behaviors. You should talk to your doc about allergies too (lol like Michelle said). We went through all of that before we figured out what was going on with Jordan.

I hope you stick around! This is a wonderful place full of caring people. I look forward to getting to know you!
