Is My Husband Bi-polar?

After reading your answers to my first post I wondering if my husband can be bi-polar. How can I tell if has this mental illness?What are the signs? He is very angry most of the time, just like a time ticking bomb. I never know when he will explode. He switches very easliy from being calm to being extremely nervous and violent. He has always been like this. I know that his father is also abusive with his mother so maybe it is something genetic. He also looses his temper very often with our toddler.

When Therapy Doesn't Work?

My fiance and I have been taking his daughter to therapy for over 2 years. She doesn't care about any of it, refuses to do anything. We aren't any closer to making things better than the first day...things are worse, actually. Has anyone ever gone through this? What do you do when therapy doesn't work? We don't have any answers, nothing seems to work...just feel lost and hopeless. I am afraid of what is going to happen to her, or our family!!

Attitude and Self-injury

I have a 12-year-old boy whose academic performance has slowly deteriorated throughout this academic year and whose personal integrity has surfaced to insecurity. He is quite unorganized.

However, this past term he has failed 4 classes. This past week at school his counselor informed me he put paint in...

What to Do About Depression???

Hi, My husband has always been moody. I just took it to be in his nature. Now that we have kids, however, he gets into these "moods" much more often, sometimes twice a week, if they only last a day or so. Sometimes they last a whole week and more! And I HATE it! I don't know what to do. He is not abusive, though sometimes can be mean. He tends to just be quiet and not say anything. I have to take care of the kids myself, as he does not want to be involved when he's in a mood. It's to the point where my soon to be three-year-old...
