[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 493217, member: 1233"] ((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))) It is so hard when you see them hurting so much!!!! She needs a psychiatrist appointment and if she doesn't have a psychiatrist then probably you will need the pediatrician/family care doctor to do a referral. At least that is what happens here in the US. I am not sure how it will work for your country. Get a neuropsychologist appointment asap. NOT neurologist at this point unless some type of epilepsy/seizure is suspected. Here neuros only test for seizures. You also need to find a psychologist to work with her. if you suspect bipolar, get a copy of The Bipolar Child by Papalous. It is an excellent book that will be an amazing resource for you. Also get your daughter set up wtih an Occupational Therapist for an evaluation for sensory problems - they can cause a lot of acting out and meltdowns (trust me, sometimes they STILL do for ME and I am in my 40's!) Unless you daughter was adopted and/or horribly abused before age 3, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) probably is NOT the diagnosis. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning EVERYTHING else must be ruled out first. She can have attachment issues, but full Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is very unlikely, in my opinion. (((((hugs))))) to both of you and your daughter! [/QUOTE]
