[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 155643, member: 1498"] I want to point out that just going to even a certified child and adolescent psychiatrist is no guarentee that your child will be carefully, thoughtfully and correctly medicated. Psychiatrists are pretty much medication managers. They have short appointments and many try to move patients through quickly. And it seems that they get most of their information from the drug companies, either directly or through things like ghost-written -- and inaccurate -- journal articles. With a history of sexual abuse and abandonment (albeit throught no choice of his own) by her father, it is no wonder your daughter is angry. I would guess her age is going to make both those issue worse and cause the increase in anger that you are noticing. It doesn't sound like her issues are neurobiological but psychological. If that's the case, medication isn't going to make that anger go away. You have to find a way to get her to talk to a [I]good[/I] therapist who deals with sexual abuse and parental abandonment.
