[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 74981, member: 1550"] THey diagnose, but are often wrong, from my long experience.Also, they don't run evaluation tests, like NeuroPsychs. I consider THAT a huge deal. Psycologists, of which I've seen about twenty since I have bipolar and of which my son had a dozen or so, missed with both of us. They tended to focus on behavior therapy and totally missed the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). They told me my past caused my horrible depressions and couldn't explain (or didn't believe) my highs. I think Psychiatrists and NeuroPsychs are a better bet. It's certainly up to anyone who they take their kid to see, but in my opinion, I wouldn't trust a psycologist to get it right. I wouldn't trust ANYONE who didn't do some sort of serious evaluation. My son had twelve hours of evaluation with the neuropsychologist so he was able to see things that the other "quick triggers" missed. in my opinion just talking to the kid and the parents isn't enough.
