[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 221653, member: 6479"] I think the problem is more that JLady doesn't feel like her son NEEDS a psychiatric consult----if I'm reading your post right, hon? The doctor "keeps insisting" her son needs it, but it's all "just regular kid stuff" to her. My take on it is that if you keep having to bring up emotional issues to your pediatrician, so many times that he starts throwing around ODD and "insisting" you need to see a psychiatric---you probably do. Peds don't really DO emotions, they refer to specialists (psychs) for that sort of thing. I guess, what did you expect to get from your pediatrician when you bring up emotional problems in your child? Honest questions, not sarcasm or anything---what did you hope to get from your pediatrician that you're not getting? My position is: in the end, what's the harm? More information is always better than less, and your psychiatric appointment certainly won't hurt your child, it can only help. So go! Maybe he'll tell you the pediatrician was wrong. :) [/QUOTE]
