[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 359449, member: 1550"] I would take her to a neuropsychologist. Frankly, they do more intensive diagostic testing than psychiatrists (and I've seen a ton myself and more for my son). They don't always get it right. NeuroPsychs are in my opinion way more thorough. Then you can tell the psychiatrist what he said and how the testing came out and go from there. That's what I'd do.' medications will not solve everything. It all depends on what's going on...different treatment for different disorders. The "evaluator" sounds spacey and not very schooled on childhood disorders. ODD rarely stands alone. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for most of the time. Good luck, no matter what you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
