we took difficult child to see the psychiatrist today and after telling him about all that has been going on - the rage wed. with the busted door and how she terrorizes her brother and says she wants to kill him etc. the psychiatrist brought in anouther psychiatrist to talk to her and observe and she said she believes she was misdiagnosed and she believes it is Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified she sent her to inpatient for 3-5 days for evaluation and to stabalize her medications since she was on adderall for the adhd. It was a very hard day for us all she was really getting agitated at psychiatrist office and then when we got to the hospital she was going 900,000 miles an hr. running and climbing etc. then when she figured out she really had to stay she went into a rage - this has never happened at an appointment. she has only had rages at home. she was screaming and fighting and knocking things over it was aweful. It was so hard to leave her there. what if she hates us? I told her this was just so the doctors. could find out what medication she should be on and it would only be a few days and we will call and visit but she was just so angry she said she wouldn't take our calls or see us. It was just so aweful I had never seen her like that in public I know this is what is best for her but it is still so darn hard. we go tomorrow evening for a visit and to talk with the psychiatrist there I will let you all know how it goes.
