Subject: [LM_NET] TARGET: Bipolar disorder in children
One of our kindergarten students was recently diagnosed as bipolar.
Does anyone know of good places on the net to learn more about this
disorder in children? My days as a psychology student were 15 years
ago, so I'm not as familiar with current information anymore. Her
teacher and the others who work with her will appreciate any help you
can give!
