[QUOTE="klmno, post: 335824, member: 3699"] I'm probably repeating things I've said before but this is all just sooooo frustrating. First, true anxiety and a problem "being all in your head" (as in imaginary) are two completely different things. But as you point out, there's no credibility in any diagnosis that isn't based on a thorough evaluation. If they wanted to do major surgery on her based on a 3 min evaluation, I wouldn't run with that either. I know you have, and are continuing to, explore every avenue available so you've probably already looked into this idea that just croseed my mind, but I'll throw it out anyway. After I took my son to a neuro just to make sure there was no problem in that area, I learned from difficult child's psychiatrist that he (the psychiatrist) was also specially trained in neurology. I knew he was certified as a child/adolescent psychiatrist, but hadn't known he also had neuro training. This makes me think that maybe someone who has more knowledge in several specialized areas (MD, psychiatrist, neuro) might be more helpful for Jess than an expert in only one of these areas. Also, since the bigger problem you seem to be running into is doctors blowing this off, not results from a thorough evaluation, I'm wondering if someone with less experience in their career might take this more serious than an older dr who's set in his/her ways. Not necessarily for any serious treatment, but just to help with a diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
