[QUOTE="keista, post: 454698, member: 11965"] Sounds like a case of CYA (cover your a**) on the psychiatrist's part. I'd fight harder for effective medication than any label. I so strongly believe that, that it's permanently in my sig. Essentially your son is NOT being treated for anything but sleepwalking. Without treatment NOW, he will more than likely end up with ALL the dxes psychiatrist doesn't want to "label" him with. And when I suggested another psychiatrist, I wasn't talking about a second opinion. I mean just change docs. in my opinion you're wasting your time and money (or the insurance company's money) with this one. Unless the next one you try is a clone of this one, you'll probably be much better off. The second psychiatrist I was taking my kids to (he replaced the first one in the clinic we were using) refused to even consider that DD1's escalating behavior was due to her medications. He insisted that it was ODD (no ODD before she started the medications) and I should come to his seminars. I dropped him like a hot potato. The one we're currently using is OK but not perfect. Right now I only have one other option so I'll stick it out with this one as long as I can because at least she's working with me instead of against me. I hope you can find someone else to take him to because, yeah, middle school can be a nightmare. You'll be in my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
