[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 88603, member: 3626"] I'm one of those who truly doesn't care what the diagnosis is ... just give me a treatment plan that works! Whether that's medications, behavior mod or both, or whatever else you can think of to throw in the mix, just give me something to help my child! When she was younger, her Dxes were all over the place. None really fit. I finally started researching on my own and found info on Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). THAT FIT! Brought it up to her psychiatrist and therapist. The psychiatrist said, yup, no question she had that. I asked why he didn't mention it. He said he didn't want to see me give up. I'd already gone so much farther with her than he expected. He also said if I hadn't gotten through to her, he would have recommended I disrupt the adoption. I do buy into my daughter's present Dxes, but I also think Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) is a factor. Sadly, there really aren't any medications that worked because of her drug sensitivies or even really would have worked without them (besides putting her into a manageable stupor) for her issues. For us, it was a very long, painful haul up an extremely steep hill. So, I'm a firm believer in the big picture -- whatever works, whatever gets you the help you need, grab it. Actually, I would probably ask a psychiatrist to do the necessary treatment for something like BiPolar (BP) but ask that the label not be attached if I had any doubts. It is hard to remove a label once it is attached and some labels like BiPolar (BP) can be create difficulties in adult life. [/QUOTE]
