I'm diagnosed Bipolar II and currently taking depakote to stabilize my mood. It works but makes me lethargic, so at my next pdoc appointment will ask to go off of it. I've been researching Omega-3 fatty acids. It has been found to stabilize mood in patients with bipolar disorder. Look at this site:

I understand the whole denial thing. I'm still in denial about my own diagnosis. Good luck with your daughter.
