[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 303230, member: 393"] [SIZE=4][FONT=Comic Sans MS]My tweedles see psychiatrist 30 - 45 minutes every 2 months; psychiatrist checks weight & if they complain of any other issues, will do a quick neuro exam, BiPolar (BP) & pulse. The rest of the time is some therapy & discussing how they can work on controlling their conditions. (It wasn't that way until they hit 14 or so) kt & wm also see a therapist on a weekly basis with a lot of in home services. Having said that, this isn't the norm either. Before we started with this psychiatrist (6 yrs ago) it was all medication management, no involvement in treatment team or plan. Having adopted your difficult child out of foster care have you looked for add'l services for him. Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) workers to help with daily social skills & behavioral intervention. PCAs to help with ADLs so it isn't such a fight? Might want to check into it.
