[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 73260, member: 1233"] It might be time to do a search on the treatment protocol for Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) as sugested by the whoever board certifies psychiatrists. I did find that if medication protocols were done differently than recommended, printing out the protocol and asking the psychiatrist why we didn't have a medication in this class (mood stabilizer or anti-psychotic or whatever) if it was the first line of treatment?? Gently, curiously asking why. NOT mean or alienating, just curious to understand my kiddo and his challenges asking. A notebook and lots of notetaking during this makes it more academic and many psychiatrists that I personally have takine my kids to see missed the "What are you trying to pull on me??" that I truly meant. If you have access to his email, sending an email thanking him for making you understand clearly that X is the reason why we did not use this kind of medication when it was recommended can help make sure you really do understand. A letter sent can also help, but is slower than email. You may never see a response to the email, or it may be at your next appointment. But it can make the docs think about WHY, and help you understand. I also use this with my docs, as often I am stressed and fuzzy during an appointment. Someone around here will know who the organization is that certifies the "Board Certified Child and Adol psychiatrists" is. I just can't remember - long day. Hugs!! [/QUOTE]
