[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 28983, member: 2894"] psychiatrist FINALLY returned my call. I feel MUCH better now. I got to tell her about his "manic" episodes that NOBODY would seem to listen about and I was relieved to hear that SHE said she didn't see any depression, after the SW had said their thoughts were the Oppositionality with Depression. She said that during the day difficult child is VERY awake and does not seem sedated at all, but she was a little confused as to why he was so tired at 6 pm when we visit, since he doesn't get his evening dose of Risperdal until 8 pm. I also mentioned the vision and she said that it could be blurred vision and that since he's never been on medications before, he could be having a hard time adjusting to it. She wants to watch it for another day and then maybe adjust the dose. She was glad I told her. So, what she told me was Disruptive Behavior Disorder- not otherwise specified...which is kind of funny, because she ruled out ADHD and said probably not CD (which I never suspected CD), so that only leaves his existing diagnosis of ODD! LOL Doesn't sound not otherwise specified to me! LOL But, with me bringing up the manic episodes, she said he definately needs to be watched as he grows up for mood disorders and possible bi-polar, but without a strong family history... And, she shot me down on the neuropsychologist test too. Said to wait for the school testing. :::sigh::: [/QUOTE]
