[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 28240, member: 2894"] Again, I'm no Dr, but my inclination has been leaning more towards the BiPolar (BP) than straight up Depression. My only comfort here is that the medication they're putting him on (Risperdal) seems to be a BiPolar (BP) medication, so even if they're missing the diagnosis, at least maybe they have the medication right? According to what I've been told and what I've read in the paperwork, he *should* be assigned a Psychiatrist too and should be seeing him daily, BUT, he didn't get admitted until Thursday night, then Friday we had a snow storm and I don't think the psychiatrist went in, then there was the weekend (only an "on-call" psychiatrist) and then it was Monday...so, out of the first 5 days my son was there, I think he only saw his psychiatrist ONCE. Plain 'ol crummy timing. So, basically, if they stick to their 10 day-2 week discharge plan, my son gets shafted out of 4 days of psychiatrist visits. [/QUOTE]
