I really respected the real look of pediatric bi-polar children and how their parents are coping. I didn't see this until 2023 but I wish I would have seen it when it came out as I had a 4 year old that was struggling in the same way and not getting correct diagnoses. I was fortunate to be in probably one of the best districts in IL for special needs children and received tremendous resources and support. Even with that, we had many difficult years and many hospitalizations. The impact is profound on the family and relationships that surround the family as no one can understand the differences of not a neurotypical child is unless you have one or are seeing them all day. I would love to see a follow up on the kids and families progress now 14 years later as young adults. My son at 17 is doing very well in school and his anger outbursts at home have been very minimal for the last 2 years. I worry about the future though and for life to be as fulfilling as school
is. He still has mainly online friends and he's really a sweet, kind, boy who just wants to fit in. I would love to see how these parents navigated post high school and if the kids had much better control.
