[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 152496, member: 2423"] The initial psychiatric evaluations my children have undergone have involved four sessions: one hour with parents alone for history, two separate one-hour sessions with the child alone to get a handle on what's going on and then one hour again with parents to give feedback and disucss interventions. Furthermore, none of the psychiatrists we currently see gave out prescriptions right away. Even though my son was experiencing a manic reaction to Zoloft when we first got to his current psychiatrist, the psychiatrist watched him for six weeks before starting him on medications (the Zoloft was already discontinued). My daughter M saw her psychiatrist weekly for two months before the psychiatrist decided to start medications because her eating disorder was getting into the life-threatening realm. My two older kids have also undergone neuropsychologist testing, and my youngest will start testing in late May. Have you tried to locate a pediatric neuropsychologist to do some independent testing on Sam? [/QUOTE]
