Is this a bad, bad psychiatrist? Or should I just take the drugs and run?

[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 244034, member: 3413"] Hi MWM, in the case of my difficult child's pediatrician neuro clinic, apparently they do a lot of brain surgery. My understanding is that they do neuropsychologist evaluations to assess functioning prior to brain surgery in order to gauge the effects that the surgery has on the child's ability to function in several areas. After SUCH a struggle, I did get a referral, covered by insurance, to a psychiatrist's practice who claimed to do neuropsychologist testing. But I posted about him here ages ago and most people (including difficult child's neurologist) thought he was a quack because he was pushing some unproven treatment..was it neurofeedback therapy...? and he also "diagnosed" my son after 5 minutes of seeing him. I just have terrible luck finding good professionals. I've talked to a couple of good practices around here - ones that offer thorough neuropsychologist evaluations. Unfortunately they aren't covered by my insurance. [/QUOTE]
