[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 582824, member: 11847"] pediatrician was fantastic (as usual). She first asked me a few questions and since I was not sure, I turned to Partner. She then talked with Partner for a good bit. She wanted to know if the voices were inside or outside his head, how many, male or female, nice or scarry, if they were telling him to do stuff... Partner said: outside, 1 voice, male, scary, cannot make out what he says. Happens mostly at night but sometimes at school as well. I won't bore you with all the detail questions. But she referred him to a neurologist. She thinks Partner is dealing with atypical migraines (remember I have migraines myself, but they are typical, have had migraine since childhood). Atypical migraine can create visual distortions (like the teacher getting further and further). She also talked about his scary thoughts. Partner was VERY nervous but he answered like a little man. She concluded by saying that at this point she does not think it is psychiatric but the neurologist might have a different opinion. Since Partner is not on any medications, that rules any medication side effect out. She is not sure what tests the neurolgist will choose (blood test, scans?). She said that outside voice that one cannot understand usually rules psychiatric disorders, but we can't be 100% sure at this point. She also think that the stress from growing up with a brother with special needs, the stress from his friends retelling scarry movies, his extremely sensitive and righteous nature (he has a very strong sense of what is right and wrong, following the rules) plus the typical developmental stages of a 7 year old (fear and wanting to understand death) all creates what Partner is going through. I might still take him to therapist a few times and actually do it during school time (so I don't have to bring V and Sweet Pea along). He said he wants to see her and it might help him manage his anxiety better (no matter the cause of the anxiety it can't hurt to talk about it or learn strategies to deal with it). Busy day to say the least! [/QUOTE]
