[QUOTE="totoro, post: 128169, member: 3155"] I just wrote to psychiatrist1... who alot of people know of... she is on the advisory board of CABF... anywho. She is livid... she is sad, she is not surprised. She is just finishing up her book she said it is covering just this topic!!! She also reminded me not to give up hope and that hopefully when the DSM is revised she is helping and pushing for revisions... For 2012... Her words were "ossified Doctors like this" to true... Her book is due May 15th... Maybe I will mail it to him!!! Marg, I understand what you are saying. But I am not young nor new to this game. I have enough people in the medical field in my family... lots of nurses who have been through the Doctor treatment... I have taken enough classes to know a little about the mind and body. Plus I know my daughter, I also have the added bonus of growing up in a family of Mental Illness and having Bipolar myself... I know my daughter needs more than ADHD treatment. She is not going to get that from someone who is convinced that is what she has. I am not even saying it is just medications... But I need someone who can open their mind... He clearly could not. It was obvious from our conversation. I have been right about all 3 previous psychiatrist's so far... I loved our first one ... so far she was the only one who could be held accountable for her treatments. I have changed my whole life for this kid... It has nothing to do with me being inflexible or unwilling to adapt. He was not willing to see anything else but his side, he did not see her... even though he spent time with her. [/QUOTE]
