[QUOTE="Andy, post: 237247, member: 5096"] I took difficult child directly to the psychiatric hospital (no referral from any doctor). His therapist told us that we could go through ER or call the psychiatric hospital for an appointment for intake evaluation. The psychiatric hospital was just one block away (with no buildings between) from the therapist hospital so I went there. I asked for an appointment but when their staff saw my difficult child they said they would see us immediately. (I think it helped that he actually threw up in their lobby.) And it sounds like this kid is a lot further down than my difficult child was. My difficult child was scared to death about his self harm thoughts, nightmares about people out to get him or himself killing other people, etc. He had not followed through with anything but was afraid he could no longer fight the urges to hurt himself or others. If ER doesn't work, go directly to the psychiatric hospital. [/QUOTE]
