“So much of what I am learning about BP I thought was my own personality defects!!! It is like a weight has been lifted! While I am an adult now, her book is still very helpful and informative as well as life changing. I can see myself in my three year old daughter already and so I am going to use the awesome ideas that she has in my parenting. Not that I might fight off BP if she is to get it, but so that coping techniques will already be in place so she wont end up where I was as a child/teen (messed up but not trying to commit suicide and so therefore not getting attention). I feel that page 76-80 as well as the Rainbow technique is great parenting info even if your kid isn’t BP!!! Excellent techniques and excellent info! Kudos! Thanks so much for her dedicated research!!!”
“Pavuluri is a genius. Whatever she touches seems to turn into gold with her talent- I am hopeful that she will continue her incredible work.”
“I want everyone to read Dr. Pavuluri’s book “What works for bipolar kids”. It is wonderful. I have Bipolar Disorder. I am 28 and have two girls, ages 3 and 1. I was always depressed (have a family history of Mental Illness and mom was diagnosed bipolar in 1990 and sister just was diagnosed last week) and never knew about hypomania until now. After I had my first child, I slipped back into depression and was prescribed Wellbutrin which I took for two months prior to getting pregnant a second time (and going off it for my pregnancy). While pregnant with my second child, my moods got worse during the third trimester (dellusional thoughts too) and right after the birth I was put on Zoloft. That did nothing for my depression but was great for anxiety. At 5 mos postpartum, my Psych NP decided that because Wellbutrin worked last time that she would put me on it again (she was thinking to put me on Lamictal but because of the track record with Wellbutrin opted for that). That has been great for my depression and my weight has lifted (of course its done nothing for my hypomania).”
“Pavuluri has beautiful words as she opens her mouth. My son is such a different boy today. I truly don’t have words to express the gratitude we both have. Just knowing that he now knows he has a chance at life is a miracle. Her practice should have a book of testimonials from parents and children in the waiting room for the children and for the parents to read. I am grateful.”
“We feel thankful for Dr. Pavuluri everything today. She has such a way to make it not seem so bad and I thank her for that. God bless her forever so that others find the way to you like not only my daughter but all these kids and parents that are out there dealing with what I do… “
