[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 595220, member: 14557"] If you can pinpoint a problem area, I would start with checking those who are specialised to that area or list it as their special interest. Psychiatry is large field and like you probably wouldn't choose plastic surgeon to operate your knee even though they are surgeons, you may want to check also psychiatrist's speciality. With our difficult child, he has met child psychiatrist when he was a kid, addiction psychiatrist with his gambling issues and is now treated by youth psychiatrist. Of course I have to say that addiction psychiatrist didn't catch difficult child's PTSD, but can't really blame him, because difficult child sure wasn't sharing or co-operating much with him. psychiatrists are not mind readers so if patient doesn't tell about their symptoms, diagnosing is difficult. And at that point difficult child really did his best to hide as much of his issues as he could. [/QUOTE]
