[QUOTE="Arielle, post: 138127, member: 4621"] Thanks for your replies everyone. The Child Psychiatrist did not ask for the names of daughter's other doctors nor request that any documents be sent to her after her initial indication of being interested in seeing reports. She made it clear that we did not need to see her for another appointment. and that we needed to go into Family Therapy. (We are seeing a psychologist as a family and individually when our daughter is unable to make the appts.) When I made the appointment. to see the Child Psychiatrist at the behest of the Psychologist, I was under the impression that the Child Psychiatrist would be the one to give an actual "official" diagnosis and then treat accordingly. I did not think that daughter would get medications after one appointment. with the Child Psychiatrist. I was hoping that the Child Psychiatrist could shed some light as to why daughter had the encopresis as well as garner some info and understanding of why daughter behaves the way she does. (I didn't get anywhere with this.) I just feel the whole appointment. was a total waste of time. She seemed to be contradictory in her statements. First wanting reports and then not. First discussing different medicines, and then saying she would be wary of giving daughter medicines because of her reaction to the chloral hydrate daughter had a bad reaction to when she had an MRI. First saying that she should have a 3-hour IQ test, and then after 5 minutes of talking to daughter rejecting that notion stating that daughter was smart and manipulative. I called daughter's psychologist to let her that I was disappointed with the appointment. with the Child Psychiatrist and she said she would consult with her further and get back to me. I just feel that I have not been on the right track and none of these professionals (Dev. Pediatrician, Psychologist and Child Psychiatrist) have been pointing me in the right direction of how to get my child officially diagnosed. I am going to mention if a neuropsychologist evaluation would be beneficial to daughter's psychologist and Dev. Pediatrician. I would be the happiest if it turns out that daughter only has a discipline problem due to husband's lack of discipline of daughter and that he is her enabler of the behavior towards me. To be truthful, I believe there is more to it and I want to find out to be certain. [/QUOTE]
