[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 77268, member: 393"] I agree with Busy - many psychiatrists treat the symptoms. So very often, a difficult child goes through several diagnosis's before hitting on the "right" one. Often, the addition of a medication will confirm or rule out a disorder. This is a fine art & your difficult children are still quite young in this process. Keep in mind, that you might have 2 different disorders at the same time. Many times I've told our psychiatrist, call it pregnancy if you have to, just treat it! I didn't care the diagnosis - I wanted the symptoms treated. Good luck with the new medications - hope they work for your boys. [/QUOTE]
