Welcome to the Georgia Childhood Bipolar Foundation - Support email group. We are a group of parents from all over the state of Georgia who have children with or at risk for Childhood Onset Bipolar Disorder. This email group is strictly for support. Feel free to exchange emotions and ideas. Share your successes and your disappointments. There is no "leader" here - it is a cooperative effort. We do have a separate list for advocacy issues, so if you are politically inclined, please check out the Georgia Childhood Bipolar Foundation - Advocacy list at GCBF-advocacy-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

Please use a signature at the end of your posts with the following information: your name, child's name & age, child's diagnosis, child's meds, school situation, pdoc and tdoc. If you have a personal diagnosis and meds, feel free to include that at your discretion.
