[QUOTE="klmno, post: 233256, member: 3699"] I saw my therapist today- this is only the third time so it's all still pretty new. She's a psychologist (phd) with a background/specialty in ptsd, trauma, depression, anxiety and did part of her internship at psychiatric hospital for kids and Residential Treatment Center (RTC). She knows more about the "system" around here then some. She told me today that usually all we hear is that a kid gets admitted to psychiatric hospital when determined to be an imminent danger to self or others, but that there is a third way to get them admitted. She said most people don't talk about it but it's when the kid is declared to have "deterioration of functioning". She said she thought difficult child would more than qualify. I don't really think that solves our problems, but I thought I'd throw this out for general info to others and see if anyone else has heard of this or has experience with admittance on these grounds. She said it's used when a person is psychotic, BiPolar (BP) manic, and like if someone is lurking around claiming to be the Messiah, etc... [/QUOTE]
