[QUOTE="klmno, post: 241835, member: 3699"] Get a good psychiatrist (child&adolescent certified psychiatrist) on board quickly and get a second opinion if it makes you feel better or if you don't see medications working and psychiatrist doesn;'t take it serious. First- make sure you are comfortable with the diagnosis (diagnosis). Has he had neuropsychological testing done? That will help confirm the diagnosis and reveal any special areas he needs supports in. Personally, knowing what I know now, if you are comfortable that this is the right diagnosis, I'd look for a psychiatrist that does counseling instead of getting a therapist for my child. The therapist (therapist) we have come across only do the typical, which from my experience, doesn't deal with mental illness at all when it's a child involved. But- a therapist might also be good for you just to relieve some of your stress by having someone to talk to in person. And- sorry- Hello and welcome!! There is a world of experience, support, and understanding here. Feel free to post specific questions, concerns or vents- we all do it! LOL! [/QUOTE]
