[QUOTE="Star*, post: 417345, member: 4964"] I also agree with Haozi's assessment - When your son becomes a danger to self and others? This is a criteria for taking him to the ER. HOWEVER - do NOT be surprised if they don't admit him to the child's psychiatric ward on just this incident. The child welfare case worker from mental health will be looking to you and your husband for patterns of consistant dangerous physical aggression from your son to himself and other family members and pets, or friends. If you are not able to substantiate this? More than likely they will send him home, make a record of it - and refer him to his regular psychiatrist. If he flips out in the waiting room because he is OBVIOUSLY aggitated - there may be a chance that they keep him for observation - but depending on your insurance? It's usually not more than 72 hours and then their staff psychiatrist will concur with your regular psychiatrist. Just trying to prepare you for the what may be. If you are successful with an inpatient stay? Tell them about times, dates, and by all means keep a diary from now on of his behaviors. It will be invaluable to you and any other doctors later on. It could show them a cycle of behavior or show clues to when or why things are happening. Also any and all medication doses by times and dates. Keeping good records will be crucial to his psychiatrists. [/QUOTE]
