[QUOTE="totoro, post: 139256, member: 3155"] Sorry you are going through all of this... I don't know what is going on with your difficult child. But I do know how frustrating it can be. Regardless, she needs to be helped to maintain some stability, You know? Sometimes you have to just work with the person that is available for the time, that can help your child... as long as it does not put your child in danger... For us psychiatrist3 was overmedicating K and we felt as well as therapist and pediatrician that it was not good for K... nor was she stable. But for awhile it was all we had... and we needed some stability. Stability in your house is SO important as well. I know things have been up and down for you and you are trying to get things stable, do you think this is making it harder for her? And maybe this is what the psychiatrist is reading into and seeing, and trying to push onto difficult child's diagnosis? When we moved 2 years ago they were trying to make such a big thing about it as far as K's behaviors, which for most kids would be a big deal. But after lots of observations, and husband and I trying to explain that K is just different and that she was "Like" this prior to the move or husband working out of town... They all came to the conclusion that yes K is and was like she is... regardless of her environment. BUT it took us, videoing, writing parent-reports, proving that we had implemented parent and behavior modifications, much longer than 2 weeks of mods... taking K to classes, Occupational Therapist (OT), Gymnastics, Hippo-Therapy... therapist. So much to show and to prove to ourselves as well as DOCS that K can not be helped by some one like a "Super Nanny"... Our Mods have helped us and her, but we and the Docs can really see that there is a real Underlying Mental Illness, most likely BiPolar (BP), and it is not just Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), or Depression. They could see the actual Cycling. When K is unstable her Anxiety gets worse as does her Sensory Integration Disorder (SID)... But when her medications are wrong these things get worse also... SO all the more important to have a psychiatrist who truly understands YOUR child. Sometimes we just don't agree with the doctor's... been there done that!!! I would give yourself a couple of days to wrap your mind around it... You are going through SO much right now, try not to overreact, I tend to do that. Especially if I don't agree with the doctor, If I give myself a couple of days I can usually find something I might agree with??? Or maybe see there point? Hang in there... [/QUOTE]
