[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 87310, member: 2423"] My daughter (easy child/difficult child 2) had a dysfunctional mental health team when she was first diagnosed with depression more than 2 years ago. The therapist didn't talk to the prescribing psychiatrist and vice versa. Both the therapist and the psychiatrist didn't understand what was going on when my daughter had a very strange disinhibited and aggressive reaction to Paxil. The therapist thought my daughter's strange behavior was attention-seeking and the psychiatrist kept upping the Paxil because he thought she was still depressed (her behavior was actually induced by the Paxil, and every increase made her worse). We finally switched to a psychiatrist who practices integrated care, meaning she does both the medication management and weekly psychotherapy. It has made a tremendous difference, and my daughter is unbelievably stable now. This model worked so well for our daughter that we have now found psychiatrists who practice integrated care for our other two children as well. psychiatrists who practice integrated care are hard to find, but well worth the investment in my humble opinion.
