[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 120275"] If his diagnosis is depression and no medications recommended what kind of therapy is he doing? CBT is the gold-standard for treating depression (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Is therapist employing this or any other specific method you're aware of? As far as the others.... No way would I be sending my son diagnosis'd with depression and with obvious behavioral issues across country to a board school without therapeutic interventions. Chances are you'd be asked to come get him fairly quickly, too. If he's basing all of these assumptions on 4 visits and without talking to you, I'd be running away from him and finding a new therapist ASAP. Good tdocs are worth their weight in gold. Bad tdocs can be harmful. Actually, I'd probably call him and ask him point blank what he's basing these assumptions on. Anyone that has ever talked to a teenager - let alone trained to work with them - should know that you can't always take things at face value. Especially with one diagnosis'd with depression. It completely changes the way the brain processes. by the way, a good therapist would not be interested in just sending a child away to a 'healthier environment'. If it were truly a bad environment, they'd be calling CPS. If there were just some family issues that need to be worked on, he'd be addressing that. Run. That's my opinion. [/QUOTE]
