acting like a child of 12 or 14. Is this common. All she wants to talk about is pictures she has created, her illness etc. She is totally focused on the kids in her group therapy. She is on lithium but they are thinking about switching her to ambilify. I'm not reading great things about the side effects. She's mumbling under her breath a lot. Help!!

It sounds a lot like she is experiencing the mania part of bipolar.
Does she ever have a downside of it? Depression?
