[QUOTE="DDD, post: 442134, member: 35"] Welcome. I agree that your son should not be diagnosed solely by a Pediatrician. I had such a caring and wonderful Pediatrician that it took me awhile to realize that he is not a specialist in mental health disorders. My first reach out was to a child/adolescent Psychiatrist. Secondly I had a neuro/psychological evaluation (takes six hours or more and done usually be a team) that for us really nailed the problems on the head. Once I was confident in the diagnosis. then it was possible to get the right medications from the Psychiatrist. I'm sorry you are going through so much stress. There are no easy answers. Often even the best professional prescribes medication that just doesn't work. It usually takes awhile to find out exactly what you are dealing with, the right medications and then finding the supports necessary. I wish you the best of luck. Sending caring thoughts and hugs your way. DDD PS: Once you have those results your child will be able to get appropriate educational supports that will help him do his best. [/QUOTE]
