[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 522138, member: 13882"] Hi my3, Usually, the psychiatrist will meet with you privately for one session to get your take on things. Bring a typed sheet of behaviors, concerns, school issues, etc. so you can make the most the time the doctor has with you. Then, he will meet with your daughter separately. Don't be concerned about your daughter "spinning" the situation to make you look bad; the psychiatrists know how to cut thru the b.s., they're very experienced with teen diagnoses. Just try not to escalate things with her for the time being. Don't yell or accuse, or blame. Just try to hold your boundaries, but don't get into any screaming matches with her. If she challenges you, and wants to pick a fight, just tell her you're not going to go there with her, but you'd be glad to talk about what's bothering her in a calm, rational way. Good luck. I hope it's typical teen behavior, but you're on the right track to determine exactly what's going on. Keep us posted. Take care. [/QUOTE]
