[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 149878, member: 2423"] Pam, I'd find a new psychiatrist. Any psychiatrist who talks you out of testing when you've hit a brick wall isn't helpful. Believe it or not, our psychiatrists strongly urged us to do testing because it gave them additional insight into our children's strengths and weaknesses. The psychological testing provided information about their world view, their specific worries, whether their thoughts were reality-based or distorted, whether there was mania or depression present. In your difficult child's case, I think this information would be helpful both to you and the psychiatrist. Without intensive testing, you don't honestly know if your difficult child has a mood disorder, an autistic spectrum disorder or a disorder from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). All of these disorders require different interventions so it does matter. [/QUOTE]
