[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 34371, member: 2894"] If they're considering other diagnosis, they aren't telling me about it. I've had ONE phone conversation with the psychiatrist while he was in the psychiatric hospital after she had seen him approx. 3 days to "enlighten" her on his mood swings and "manic" episodes coming out of a rage, because with their controlled setting and PRN's that they were giving him after his visits to the "quiet room" I had a feeling they weren't seeing the whole picture. She basically said she was looking at "Disruptive Behavior Disorder- not otherwise specified" and had pretty much ruled out the ADHD and CD (which basically leaves ODD, doesn't it?). They're basically treating the symptoms...they're giving the Zyprexa to "lengthen his fuse" to try to treat the rages so he can employ the coping skills they're teaching through the psychiatric hospital/day hospital program. The impression I'm getting is that they are NOT looking to really diagnosis him, so I think that's something that's going to have to wait until his time in this program is over (about 8 weeks?) and he's working one-on-one with a regular psychiatrist. I'm anxious about getting a call back today to hear what the sW has to say. Hopefully she'll have the psychiatrist call me. Think I'll call the SW at school today too, just to make sure he's doing well over there the past week (and today). :::fingers crossed!:::: I'm seriously thinking of making a psychiatrist appointment for myself to pick myself and MY childhood apart just to see if I can find anything helpful to help my son...because I feel like nothing else is helping. Maybe if I can find something insightful about myself, it will help him?! [/QUOTE]
