[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 362873, member: 1550"] Ok, ok, ok. First of all, welcome to the board, but sorry you have to be here :raspberry-tounge: Secondly, what is the history of your child that would make anybody think she has dissociative disorder? Has she been abused? Also, what type of professional is doing the diagnosing? Seems like her diagnoses are all over the place and nobody is really sure what is going on. Did she get violent on an antidepressant or a stimulant? That's common and often due to the medication. Has she ever been assessed by a neuropsychologist? Can you tell us more about her. How was her early development? Can she socialize comfortably with her same age peers? Does she make good eye contact? Can she transition from one activity to another? Are there any psychiatric disorders or substance abuse on either side of her genetic family tree? To me, it sounds like her mental health care specialists are not doing a good enough job...are they taking into consideration that her prenatal stroke may be affecting her behavior? To help, we will probably need more. I am really confused why they'd give her a stimulant if they feel she has DID, yet I'm also wondering if they know what they are talking about when they say she has DID. What lead them to that diagnosis? Who are "they" who are giving her all these alphabet soup diagnoses?? [/QUOTE]
