Is this a bad, bad psychiatrist? Or should I just take the drugs and run?

I think I would run WITHOUT the medications.

But then, please feel free to take my advice with a grain of salt. I admit that I am biased against the amount of ADHD medication that is so readily presecribed these days. These are brain-altering drugs (not to mention the other potential side-effects)...and I would want to have confidence that the person prescribing them for my child had thoroughly examined him, had thoroughly tested before jumping to conclusions about any diagnosis and truly felt the particular drug recommended was most suitable for my child (and not a just bunch of "probably"s or "well, the insurance company says").

Just my two cents...
