[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 311539, member: 1550"] Hon, your six year old needs a total evaluation. I prefer NeuroPsychs...they test for everything under the sun and take a lot of care in diagnosing. My son had ten hours of testing, but it was worth it. Although bio. father is gone, his genes live in your child. If he has tried to kill himself numerous times, he probably has something like bipolar disorder and people with this also have a high rate of substance abuse. Your daughter sounds like she COULD have an emerging mood disorders and in my opinion behavioral therapy probably won't do the trick. Most of our differently wired kids don't respond to normal behavioral methods such as charts or time outs. She may need medication, depending on what the problem is, so it's important to find out the best you can (in the mental health profession nothing is for sure...there are no blood tests). But the wrong treatment delays the help the child needs. NeuroPsychs can be found in university and children's hospitals. I hope you decide to take her to see one. Good luck, whatever you decide to do and welcome to the board :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
