[QUOTE="klmno, post: 215162, member: 3699"] My insurance covers the weekly tdocs and necessary psychiatrist, regular dr, of course, and will cover up to about a 1 week stay in a psychiatric hospital if it is definitely acute. That's it- and around here, I'm lucky to get that. The local mental health people are incompetent, that sounds bad I know, but we've been there done that. Unfortunately, in the jurisdiction we live in, you have to go through the county mental health people to get to the Children Services Board (CSB). If I had known what I know now, I would have raised difficult child in the city jurisdiction where you can access their Children Services Board (CSB) more readily and they actually are more knowledgable. I made the mistake of raising difficult child in the jurisdiction that everyone talked about having good neighborhoods, schools etc., without realizing that these are people that don't want to spend tax dollars on treating kids that really need help- actually- these are people that don't want to admit that the kids in these neighborhoods NEED help, and they would prefer that if you're the parent of one, you move away so you don;t make them or the schools look bad. PS By local mental health- I mean the county agency, not the private. I have difficult child in private health care, all the way around and refuse to take him back to the county people because they have proven themselves incompetent to me in more than one area and on more than one occassion.
