[QUOTE="klmno, post: 113619, member: 3699"] Smallworld, I just read your response (and the previous one). This is very helpful. It made me recall that she did say the mood stabilizer was taking care of some things but that she thought he needed to be put back on an AD because he still needed something to take care of the depression, until he has therapy that has dealt with it(assuming of course that therapy and coping skills can take care of it without medications). Whether or not he'll always need medications for it,I still want him to get the therapy that teaches him better coping skills, preventative measures, etc. Yes, I remember your post before. (Sorry I didn't PM- I'm not in your area though so a therapist around Difficult Child wouldn't help much, unfortunately.) Thanks for trying! This is just SSOOO confusing. Regular psychiatrist and psychiatrist on evaluation team have different personalities and approach things differently- I'm glad we got her opinion. I'll still take what I'm comfortable with from it (like the therapy recommendations) but keep the rest in the back of my mind to see what might develop in the future. She might be correct- it's depression- he needs an AD- but then will he always need a mood stabilizer to counteract mania caused by an AD? Really, I have to go back to the fact that he was acting pretty manic to me before he was ever on any medication. But, then I hear raging and erratic behavior can be depression - especially if it's going along with other major depression symptons and it's an adolescent boy. I'm confused. Doesn't matter- medications are still going through same process- the evaluation will help in court and with sd and hopefully, will help get a therapist on board to deal with things that should have been dealt with by first therapist I took him to. I really appreciate everyone helping me get through this process! [/QUOTE]
