[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 88164, member: 2423"] psychiatrist = psychiatrist pediatrician = pediatrician So who is saying no medications? A pediatrician shouldn't be prescribing psychotropic medications -- he isn't skilled enough. A child psychiatrist who isn't comfortable prescribing medications isn't worth much -- that's what they're supposed to do. You need to get a second opinion from a new psychiatrist if you're interesting in pursuing this avenue. FWIW, the combination of your difficult child's symptoms -- anxiety, hyperactivity and Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) -- might point to a high-functioning autism diagnosis. Has your difficult child been evaluated for that? You might want to see a neuropsychologist or developmental pediatrician. [/QUOTE]
