[QUOTE="slsh, post: 158647, member: 8"] Hi Sintori and welcome. I probably have more questions than suggestions at this point (sorry!). Has her development been pretty "normal" other than these behaviors? Did she have any troubles as an infant, or you with her pregnancy? Is there any history in your or her father's family of depression, mood disorders, mental illness, or substance abuse? Does she have "outbursts" at home, and do you know what is likely to trigger them? What does an outburst look like? My bias would be to have her not only seen by a therapist, but also a psychiatrist and/or neurologist, after a quick jaunt to the pediatrician to rule out any physiologic problem causing the toileting issues - though I have to say, playing with feces at 5 sounds to me to be pretty behavioral (though it's been 12 years since I've had to deal with that particularly fun behavior). I'm so sorry - I know this is scary stuff to be dealing with, but it does sound like she needs a thorough physical and psychiatric evaluation to try to get to the root of this. Again, welcome and I'm so glad you found us! [/QUOTE]
