[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 482245, member: 1550"] in my opinion I'd go to a seperate neuropsychologist, one who is not connected with his doctor. If the psychiatrist doesn't trust him enough to believe his diagnosis, and tells you not to take him too seriously, I wouldn't trust him as a good neuropsychologist or I'd wonder why psychiatrist was sending you to see him at all. To humor you? To me it seems as if perhaps you have a rigid psychiatrist who is only going to do things one way...maybe it isn't the best way for your child. You have some tough decisions to make. Too bad you can't see therapist on her/his own. psychiatrist is giving me big red flags and I've seen a lot of good ones AND bad ones in my life. Your child may or may not need medication, but certainly without a diagnosis, you don't know what is going on and you, as the parent, can't make the best decision for your child. There are school and community interventions that can help certain disorders. You aren't going to get them if you don't know what is wron Again...good luck! Keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
