[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 135939, member: 1550"] Personally, I'd get another opinion. I favor NeuroPsychs. Anyone who would diagnosis. a child with CD would make me leery of his credentials. I wouldn't be scared at all because most kids your child's age have that diagnosis change many times through their lives. He's too young to know for sure. You could see ten people and get ten different opinions. I like NeuroPsychs and MultiDisciplinary Evaluations because they actually test your child in detail. You get a better picture of your child and what may be going on. I say "may" because it is extremely hard to correctly diagnose a very young child. Things become clearer as they get older. If you are uncertain that the diagnosis. is right or don't want to try the medication, I'd wait. My son was on four stimulants and umpteen other medications, including Risperdal, before we found out he'd been misdiagnosed and didn't even need medications. Risperdal was very bad for my son. He had a bad reaction to it. Why not see if you can get a clearer picture of what is wrong? In hindsight, I would have waited much longer, and been more certain of the diagnosis., before starting any medications for my son, including ADHD stimulants. JMO [/QUOTE]
