[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 377801, member: 1550"] I've seen a lot of psychiatrists in my life and so has my kid. I'm not impressed with most I've seen. Two were excellent, but they were from top notch university hospitals. I had some serious psychiatric issues so I've had to see some bad ones when I moved or the good ones moved (a lot of times psychiatrists go from one city to another one far away). I prefer NeuroPsychs for evaluating and am suspicious of any psychiatrist who throws too many medications at one person, especially a child. Another thng: I found that no two psychiatrists saw me the same way and I got a ton of different diagnoses...lol. It's a very inexact science. See a neuropsychologist for diagnosing. Watch out that any psychiatrist you see doesn't prescribe a medication for every symptom. Or change all the medications at one time. Or do it too quickly; that messes with your body chemistry and your mind. Can't tell you how it hoovers to feel drugged up and a child can't explain feeling drugged. JMO [/QUOTE]
