[QUOTE="Transparent, post: 223232, member: 6498"] The first time he was hospitalized, he'd threatened to shoot a classmate at school and he was suspended for half a day. We took him straight to the crisis center and they in turn suggested inpatient therapy. This time when he threatened to kill a classmate, we just took him straight to the hospital. Emergencies and behavioral emergencies are both treated in the ER. If you have a hospital near you with a good psychiatric ward for children, I'd go straight to the ER. Not really. They diagnosis'd him with depression last time he was there around Thanksgiving and my husband and I both feel that's way too broad of a diagnosis for him. We believe there's a whole lot more going on with him than depression. While he's there, he's a perfect angel (of course). They don't see his outbursts and his anger or hear his threats like we do. They didn't change anything this time. He's still got the same diagnosis and the same rx. Pitiful. I've been on the phone all day trying to get a neuro. The only 2 that I've found in our area (3 hours away) - one only tests kids with brain tumors and the other I'm not sure yet. The referring doctor that only tests kids with tumors said this doctor probably won't test either and last she knew they were backed up until March. *cry* Does anyone in the midwest/Missouri area have a name of a doctor for me? I'd be forever grateful if someone could post it or PM me with it. I found out yesterday that he threatened my 13yo with a steak knife and my 13yo said "you can't do that because you'll go to jail" and my difficult child said "not if I tell them you killed yourself". This was not long before Thanksgiving when he threatened the kids at school too. We DESPERATELY need HELP! [/QUOTE]
