[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 44177"] It depends on what you're looking for. A psychiatrist is going to be more clinical and diagnostic...more along the lines of question and answers scenario. I find that to not be very beneficial for me because I have enough knowledge of mental health issues to be biased in my answers. It's not intentional, mind you, but it happens. In fact, when I filled out the questionnaires from difficult child's neuropsychologist I did not do them in order because they group the questions together...ADHD questions, social skills, etc...and I didn't want my answers to be biased based on whether or not *I* thought difficult child had X, Y, or Z. I already knew what I [i]thought[/i], but I wanted an unbiased diagnosis. However, you will probably get answers faster with a psychiatrist. A psychologist is going to take more time and it would be more therapeutic, although a psychologist can and does diagnose. It is just typically done in a less direct fashion. At least that has been my experience. [/QUOTE]
