[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 253563, member: 1550"] I'm thinking that she's getting so out of control that maybe she needs the hospital. I know it's hard to get a child admitted though. So the first thing I'd do, is schedule her for a neuropsychologist appointment. in my opinion you need a second opinion on what's wrong with her and her medication (once the report is done you can take it to a psychiatrist). Maybe once she is calmed down she will not fight the medications. To me it sounds less like control issues and more like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) ritual problems, which are anxiety based. She needs everything to always be the same or she flips out. And, yes, it seems to be accelerating. My oldest son has horrible Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and he didn't rage, but his rituals started taking over to the point where he couldn't function. He had to drop out of college because he couldn't stop counting the words that everyone said to him, so he couldn't understand anything, and he developed insomnia and a nervous disorder and he was a mess. Also, you do want to check and see if your child is on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum because those kids are VERY Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and can rage sometimes over very small changes and frustrations. Some psychiatrists don't understand Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)--that's why I recommended a neuropsychologist evaluation. They do intensive testing for everything. Until then, I'd try to get her into this psychiatrist ASAP. She does seem to need medications and if she won't take them for you, maybe psychiatrist can talk her into it. Is she afraid of the medications? [/QUOTE]
