[QUOTE="LookingForAnswers, post: 433679, member: 11937"] WOW!!! I'd be UPSET but I guess if she didn't think that she can help your difficult child then she is doing the right thing. BUT she should have done her homework and been prepared with a list of referrals that she felt would be able to help difficult child. It just seems to me that that would be the right thing to do. I believe that my difficult child's psychiatrist (that he has been going to for almost 8 years) is stumped as to what to do to help him....in fact he has even said that to me in not so many words! I decided to get a 2nd opinion. I asked around and one of my difficult child's friends mother suggested the psychiatrist she uses for her oldest son (Who is just like difficult child in so many ways!). I also looked on the internet for reviews for our local psychiatrists (including her) and that was very helpful. We met with her yesterday and the appointment was almost 3 hours long. She said a lot of things that made so much sense and suggested things that I have never heard his other psychiatrist suggest (like do blood work and CT to rule out any medical issues first).
