[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 303263, member: 3419"] I agree with-the others. Smallworld's experience is unusual. Most psychiatrists figure out the diagnosis (or in our case, are told the diagnosis by another dr) and simply prescribe medications. They very seldom practice medicine in the conventional sense, and unless they advertise as being Jungian or something, they don't do any therapy at all. We also use a regular pediatrician and a child psychologist. I make sure they all have access to the others' records for my son. You are learning the hard way. :) You have to be your own advocate. Right now, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and ODD are only symptoms, in my humble opinion. I think you will end up with-a better diagnosis along the way, but you may have to change doctors. Which medications did NOT work? And what were the effects? Those can give you huge clues as to what the underlying diagnosis is. [/QUOTE]
