[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 188128, member: 4040"] Miss KT is only on her second doctor since starting medications about 9 years ago. The first was an actual child psychiatrist...not too many in this area! When the insurance changed, I found this man, who was on the board at the only local psychiatric hospital that would accept children (which has since closed down), and board certified in addiction medicine. He's a bit of an arrogant poop, but he knows his stuff. In answer to the question, not in our particular case. I think that a lot of the prescribing is done at the parent's request, because they saw some commercial on TV, and won't take no for an answer, similar to wanting antibiotics for the flu. [/QUOTE]
