Ask The Doctor

Dr. Mary Fristad, the author of the book Raising a Moody Child : How to Cope with Depression and Bipolar Disorder by Mary Fristad PhD and Jill Goldberg Arnold PhDRaising a Moody Child has graciously agreed to answer select psychology related questions submitted by our site visitors.

If your situation involves a life threatening situation please call your personal physician or go to the emergency room immediately. If you need help with suicide issues right now you can call or visit the website Suicide Hotlines. Suicide Hotline 1 800 784 2433. All Suicidal talk must be taken seriously, the consequences of dismissing them can be potentially fatal.

Unfortunately, Dr. Fristad will only be able to answer one question per month, so we will not be able to post answers to all questions.  In case your question is selected to be posted to the site, please include the signature in your email that you would like like to have published. Email addresses or other personally identifiable information will not be publicly included.

In the future Dr. Fristad may use the questions and issues raised in this column in a new book. In all cases identities will be disguised to make them anonymous (e.g., change names and identifying features, turn boys into girls in vignettes, vary age by one year when it doesn’t alter the meaning of the vignette). By submitting a question you are agreeing to such use of your question. To submit your question please email askthedoctor@bpinfo.net.
