[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 20269, member: 2322"] Janna, I know you think you live in the boonies, but until recently our nearest psychiatrist was 3 hours away! If she/he is a good one and is only two hours a way, then totoro is fortunate. Totoro is doing what we did, use an out of state psychiatrist with the pediatrician as backup to prescribe emergency medications or whatever. It would be nice to live close to the psychiatrist, but sometimes that just doesn't happen. Totoro, hope your pediatrician or someone can do some arm twisting and get you in soon to see the "local" psychiatrist. Another thought I had is that you may want to try emailing the author of the bipolar child (I think they have a website), say that you appear to have a child with all the markers of early onset bipolar, say you live in rural Idaho and name a few of the closer "big" cities and ask if they can recommend any child psychiatrists knowledgeable about bipolar for you to contact. Never hurts to have a backup plan in place. [/QUOTE]
