[QUOTE="Fran, post: 50025, member: 3"] Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is another diagnosis that is always questioned if it really exists or not. My easy child takes depakote for seizures. He doesn't have a mood disorder. I read a lot of stuff with my difficult child and I sure would never presume that medicine/psychiatry has a clear handle on all the issues of mental illness. Our pediatric psychiatrist is the first to say that they don't enough to have absolute answers. Why would I say my experience is the bottom line truth? It would be pretty stupid on my part. We are in a grey area. Not only grey but shades of grey. Do your research, ask questions, get second opinions and learn to think for yourself and ask yourself "what does your child needs." I figure I share what I learned but it isn't the bible on mental illness or developmental delays. There are many disorders that the info has changed since my difficult child dragged me into this world. I don't speak to juvenile court issues, drug or alcohol issues,attachment issues, conduct disorder issues as I have no experience. I would not ever say that your child is going to Discussion and sharing ideas is good but if we don't turn down the emotions it becomes to hot to be productive. It becomes a distraction and even entertainment. [/QUOTE]
