[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 670270, member: 11791"] Skip the psychiatrist for now. Start with a comprehensive evaluation - the kind that take 6-10 hours, usually over multiple days, to complete. You need to know what you are dealing with. While the use of things like marijuana will cloud the situation somewhat, there is usually a reason for self-medication with street drugs - and I always took the position that we had to find the root cause, not just deal with symptoms. (having said that... if there is serious addiction, it isn't possible to find root cause without dealing with the addiction) [/QUOTE]
