[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 535476, member: 84"] Good point IC, except pain medications and psychiatric medications work under different principals and in different ways. Although I'm not a biochemist by a long shot. I somehow managed to pass biochemistry for nursing with an A, but that's not saying much either as I still believe that was a bonafide miracle. lol MWM, I hear you! I quit 2 docs simply because all they did was write scripts. Seriously, that's ALL they did. Not a question, nothing. They relied on a therapist to diagnosis (not my kid!) and then just wrote whatever script the parent wanted to curb whatever behavior they wanted to see gone. It took Nichole an extremely long time to warm up to her last psychiatrist simply because she took the[B] entire hour[/B] to[B] talk[/B] to Nichole and I both, and well.......she wasn't stupid, Nichole didn't get away with squat. lol The doctor wasn't perfect, but I really hope Nichole is able to find her because she's practicing in that general area. Just makes you wonder. I bet at one time diabetes was thought to be a behavior problem, since the symptoms of blood sugar issues triggers odd behavior. I know at one time asthma was believed to be a behavioral/mental disorder, as was epilepsy. I could probably make a long list if I did a bit of research. But these things were only believed to be that way until they developed tests that could prove it was something else going on. Know what I mean?? And yeah, I know who funds research and why. Due to that, I don't see any real research being done on mental illnesses anytime even in the distant future. [/QUOTE]
