[QUOTE="Andy, post: 147988, member: 5096"] Pamela and Smallworld, As I was taking my nice long time on my post, you had a good conversation going on. I now remember when I took my difficult child to his first psychiatrist appointment, we were told, "I can only see you once per week. If you feel you need more help than that, I would recommend the child Residential Treatment Center (RTC) down the road." I am also expecting medication changes as my 11 yr old is growing physically and emotionally. Smallworld mentioned a day program. I think I would take your son for an evaluation to see what level of care he needs at this time. Hospitalization may be necessary for staff to watch reactions of medication changes 24 hours a day? Or day treatment may be o.k. based on the changes they want to do - then if they state is does well during the day but still falls apart when at home, you can ask about the next level which is hospitalizaiton for a few days? Remember, as he is maturing, his body is changing so it seems that medications need to keep up with these changes. [/QUOTE]
