[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 21678, member: 2423"] Also wanted to add: While a child psychiatrist may ultimately end up being the doctor who treats your child, you will get a better picture of diagnosis through a multidisciplinary or neuropsychological evaluation at a university or children's hospital. A psychiatrist can diagnosis mood issues (anxiety, depression, mood disorder), but may miss Autistic Spectrum Disorder. A psychiatrist isn't trained to do extensive testing that can distinguish whether ADHD, learning disabilities or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is playing into your difficult child's challenges. However, if you can't locate a neuropsychologist, you could start with the psychiatrist and ask for a referral to a neuropsycholoigst for testing. [/QUOTE]
