[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 692469, member: 1550"] Take her to a psychiatrist, rather than a psychologist. They can diagnose and prescribe medications and her level of acting out us violent and couldn't of her control. She may also need obfuscating. Many people try to sweep grief under the rug, but it stays until resolved and can make the mood swings worse. My advice is to take her to the highest educated mental health care professional, the guy with the MD. He can diagnose legally. He has had the most training. To minimize the chance of a non compassionate psychiatrist or one that doesn't listen (they're not all equally skilled) try to ask around to see who has a good reputation. NAMI will give you a few names. But the best recount are people who have used and gotten better from their association with a particular psychiatrist. I highly recommend a female for a girl, but some girls prefer men. Take her cue. She can lick this, but she obviously needs professional help. We parents are too emotionally involved. Keep us updated. We are a caring group. [/QUOTE]
