I'd appreciate your opinions of something a psychiatrist did - is this normal?

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 486061, member: 1550"] Ack! Hey, there are at least as many bad psychiatrists as good ones and I actually think NeuroPsychs are far better diagnosticians gecause they do 6-10 hours of testing. I've seen endless psychiatrists myself, since I have a mental illness, and I swear most of them just take a guess and guess on the medications too. Neuropsychs in my opinion are far more careful about diagnosing and take more care and time. THIS psychiatrist would be gone, if he treated MY kid. Tearing up his picture? What kind of therapy is THAT? Jeeeeeeeeez. And even seeing your kid twice, unless he does testing, how can he accurately diagnose him unless he tests him rather intensively? Guess my experiences have made me cynical, not to mention a wrong diagnosis for my son. Unfortunately, you do have to be very careful. Tell the therapist what you told us. Hopefully you can still keep the therapist if you switch to somebody else. And don't assume your kiddo will need medications...be careful and research the medication before he is put on it. I wish I had done the same for my kiddo. I wish you luck and please keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
