[QUOTE="klmno, post: 445613, member: 3699"] About that: I heard one psychiatric on tv saying he'd evaluation'd her extensively (HA) and Casey had given him permission to discuss the results. He said that he couldn't see any sign of axis 1 or axis 2 (Dr. Drew nearly fell out of his chair and while he didn't yell at the guy, his voice did raise as he exclaimed "How can you say that" LOL) The psychiatric responded that he really thought Casey didn't "get it" but it was because she really is just that immature. I was sitting there thinking "immature"??? If she can't get anything about this situation at her age, we are talking about a lot more serious problem thatn immaturity. Try something like autistic (no sign of in Casey), psychotic, sociopath, severe learning disability......These psychs chosen have to be the type who do only evaluations for the defense. No therapist, psychiatric, or psychiatrist I've taken my son to would come to this conclusion, I don't think. I realize that at one point the court ordered 3 different ones and I think the "system" chose them, not Baez, BUT they were only evaluation'ing to see if she was competent to stand trial. They weren't looking to see if she had a diagnosis. Most MH profs these days are trying to slap a diagnosis on anyone any chance they get, even prematurely. Not that all would do that, many would take there time and try to get the diagnosis right, but most aren't saying "no diagnosis" very easily. [/QUOTE]
