[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 221573, member: 3444"] I think I'd have reservations, too, about a doctor who was ready to prescribe medications based solely on what someone else reported about my kid. They should at least let their own experience and judgement confirm whatever the report says AFTER they've had a chance to meet and talk with the patient. An SSRI might be helpful for your difficult child's anxiety -- I know it's helped my difficult child 1 tremendously, but then he doesn't have the mood disorder diagnosis. My difficult child 2 tried Zoloft in the first grade and it made him hypomanic, and he IS the one with the mood disorder diagnosis. It's really hard to know what to do, and that's why I think this psychiatrist should have reserved any medication recommendations until she actually SAW your difficult child in person. [/QUOTE]
