[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 10262, member: 1498"] I have to say that I don't believe it as important what letters come after the person's name, what matters is how much they know about the medications and the side effects. Towards the end, my son's psychiatrist, who treated more kids diagnosed with ADD/ADHD than with bipolar, told me point blank that I knew more about bipolar medications than he did. Could be because I had time to sit and read the prescribing informations, journal articles and studies; he had to see patients. He is a board certified child and adolescent psychiatrist as was my son's first psychiatrist. Both missed antidepressant induced bipolar; both kept him on the antidepressant far longer than he should have been. There is no guarantee that a doctor will be better. Or worse. It's a crap shoot.
