[QUOTE="ShakinThingzUp, post: 95960, member: 4250"] I think it's important to rule out any medical diagnosis. Any sort of chemical imbalance that can be helped with medication - its important to know that. When the diagnosis becomes less important is when you are dealing with strictly behavioral problems and all the lines between diagnosis are blurry... and the child likely has multiple "diagnosis." My daughter has Reactive Attachment Disorder. Her counselor and psychiatrist met with me to discuss diagnosis, and they basically explained if they wanted to sit there and write up a bunch of official diagnosis, they would be there all day because they could classify her as so much - Anxiety, PTSD, Depression, etc. At that point, its important to worry less about diagnosis, and more about getting to know your child and helping him/her improve their trust, and behaviors. But, I also believe it is so important to rule out anything medical first!! God bless! Amy [/QUOTE]
