[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 285664, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]It's possible. It's also difficult to work as a team with psychiatrist if you are "undermining" decision he's making on behalf of your difficult child. I know this won't go over big with the board so bare with me. psychiatrists, as a whole, are an arrogant bunch. AND they are mostly there today to be medication managers. Rarely, do they have the time to diagnosis ~ it becomes a hit or miss with medications. Saying that, I'd suggest you ask psychiatrist for a mental health evaluation, or a neuro pysch evaluation. It's not the end all, be all ~ but these evaluations give you a good direction treatment wise. There are some therapist's who specialize in evaluations these days (not necessarily neuropsychologists ~ therapist's with further training). This is the reality of mental health care these days. In the meantime, share your concerns in a calm manner with psychiatrist. Ask him/her all of the side effects you should be watching for; ask psychiatrist if possibly there is a mood disorder in play. I'm just sharing this with you from past experience. The minute I suggested bipolar I lost a valuable team member. Our current psychiatrist now respects my concerns & I respect his knowledge ~ it's taken 6 years to achieve this. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
