[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 74951"] I disagree with smallworld and Midwestmom re: psychologists. Psychologists that practice in a clinical setting generally have their doctorate. They also can and do diagnosis (diagnose) and will refer a patient to a psychiatrist for medication management. In my experience, they do look for an underlying cause as well as work on behavior as that is what is needed to help manage the various mental health issues, in addition to medication. That said, I do agree that you need to see the right professionals before putting your child on psychiatric medications. There is no way I would let my pediatrician put my child on them; he/she doesn't have the specialized training. It would be like letting your gynecologist treat you for a heart condition. [/QUOTE]
