[QUOTE="Futurama91, post: 160947, member: 5365"] Yes. Their dad has substance abuse problems and other psychiatric problems. That was a big part of why I left, too. He was prescribed something for regulating his moods because, according to him, doing a lot of meth ruins your ability to do that. He refused to take it, though, and said that he was instead medicating himself with marijuana. He just was not willing to get clean and sober. His mom and his brother take medications for that as well, so it runs in his family. How do I get my daughter a neuro-psychiatric evaluation? Do I tell her counselor that I feel that there's more going on here? Do I ask the pediatrician? Any help would be appreciated. I completely agree that the behavior is the symptom, not the problem. She has a lot of anxiety. I mean, a lot. She's afraid one of us will have a seizure, afraid to be alone in a room at all, afraid of other things. That's why she has panic attacks. [/QUOTE]
