[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 368390, member: 831"] I had about 200 parents and children watch eight year old daughter have a meltdown on a soccer practice field. I don't even remember what it was about, but do I ever remember the stares because it got to the point where everyone just stopped to look. Yes, there are medications that can help. BUT, only after an thorough evaluation by the appropriate professional (s). I would also highly recommend an evaluation by a Neuropyschologist. This is a psychologist who has specialty in the functioning of the brain. A thorough testing by one takes a least a couple of days. There should be a few of them at a teaching hospital. This is a link to The Parent Report: [URL]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/f7/parent-input-multi-disciplinary-evaluation-10/[/URL] All questions are explained you can cut and paste the questions into a word doctor, etc., and then fill in with information pertaining to your son. Take it with you to all evaluations. It will help ground and focus you. It's also useful when dealing with school issues. The trick is getting the proper diagnoses along with the proper medications and the proper dosages. I have to be honest, not all psychiatrists are good at it. I honestly think going to a teaching hospital with those in training could be an advantage too. They should be up on the latest information.
