[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 455233, member: 11791"] {{hugs}} I don't mind if psychiatrists are not tracking 4 years worth of history - we only see psychiatrist 3-4 times a year, and while we get more than 15 mins, it still isn't significant. Its my job as a parent to track history and bring it up as it applies. BUT... Its psychiatrist's job to recognize that this is YOUR job, and to work WITH you on every point you bring up. We're lucky - we've got one hf the best pediatrician psychiatrists around. We get 1hr appointment 1x/yr, and the others are 30 mins... and she LISTENS. We DISCUSS. At the end of the session, we have a game plan, and a new appointment based on the game plan (4 weeks out? 3 months? 6 months? depends on what if anything is changing). Last round, we'd just added a medication, and wanted an increase. She wasn't so sure. But is a fine line... too little, too much, or just right... how do we know if we don't try? So, she wrote the script and gave directions allowing for us to have two rounds of tweaking - and a 3-month appointment. on the other hand - lots of psychiatrists are insecure when presented wit a case they can't figure out. Might be part of why psychiatrist is working for your son and not for your daughter? [/QUOTE]
