[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 303222, member: 2423"] We happen to be lucky to live near a large city where child psychiatrists practice integrated care -- medication managements AND weekly psychotherapy. So each of my three children sees a child psychiatrist for 50 minutes of weekly therapy, where they are learning to cope with their strong emotions. That psychiatrist also prescribes their medications. But I am told this is the exception, not the rule. I agree with Fran that if your son's psychiatrist is not performing this function, then it is time to bring someone on to the team to help your son learn coping skills. I strongly believe that medications alone do not solve the problems. If a child is on medications, he should also be in therapy. The two should go hand-in-hand. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
