[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 40006, member: 3527"] Something that we have found very helpful to us, and I am sure that many of you do this already, but we try to keep a journal of daily mood swings our difficult child goes through. This gives psychiatrist a very thorough picture of what is going wrong and when and how often, and what moods are like between rages. I usually will send her an updated copy a few days before the appointment so that she has time to review the information and make notes. Also, if we have a night that is exceptionally out of control, we make a point of calling psychiatrist the next day so that she can make a note of it THEN instead of spending an enormous amount of time trying to write ALL THE troublesome events of the evening in the journal for that day. These things I think help us more than they do her, but it keeps me from having to try to remember EVERYTHING that has happened in the last month or two since the last appointment and when she asks about mood swings and fits, all the information she could need is right in front of her. Just a thought.... [/QUOTE]
