[QUOTE="klmno, post: 262845, member: 3699"] Ok, with that one, I can see her point a little. I see where you are coming from, too. difficult child's psychiatrist used to have to tell me (many times) to tell him exactly what I'm seeing in difficult child and not come in there saying he's showing a lot of depression or I think he's hypomanic. I found this very difficult at times because not only was it frustrating to have to go over difficult child's typical list of symptoms but I had to do it right in front of difficult child. difficult child is very sensitive to this stuff and to have to sit and tell psychiatrist that difficult child is crying at the drop of a hat while difficult child is sitting there- well, you can see where that goes. Anyway, I found that writing the individual sppecifics down when I saw symptoms come out at home helped a lot. Then, I just took a list to psychiatrist and told him that when I say difficult child is depressed, this is a list of things I'm seeing. And here's the list of what I see when I say he's hypomanic. In hindsight, I can see where psychiatrist needed those specifics. For one, it would have been me diagnosis'ing difficult child otherwise and for another, sometimes the treatment approach is different depending on specific symptoms- especially when it's psychiatrist and different medications help more with different symptoms.
