[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 46663, member: 2211"] Hi! We are also from CT!! My difficult child is older now, but we began with CCMC neuropsychologist along with IOL and difficult child did very well working with them until a couple of years ago when she became more of a teen and less of a peds. We always had a positive experience with DR's at both institutions. Dr. Brunquell at CCMC neuropsychologist is awesome - he's the one who originally diagnosed difficult child with tourettes, ADHD, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). He then referred us to IOL for medication management and counseling, which was wonderful as well. After we left IOL and switched doctors about 2 years ago when difficult child was 15, she was then diagnosed with BiPolar (BP), albeit "mild" - DR'S words. She is stable for the most part, however, she is trying to learn how to control her moods with counseling and hasn't quite gotten it just yet! She refuses to try any other medications and only takes a low dose of celexa for depression since that seems to be the most consistent symptom she's experienced since she was 8. CT has many good DR's in it and if you're up on your mental health knowledge you should be able to find DR's who will work with you and your child. We've had a few bum therapists and one bad psychiatrist in West Hartford, but otherwise I think we've been pretty fortunate overall. [/QUOTE]
