[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 30708, member: 84"] Second guessing to me is a neg too. A parent can get so caught up in second guessing themselves and the docs that nothing really gets done to help the child. While re-evaluating a diagnosis, medication, treatment plan, ect is a periodic thing with most difficult child's. Behaviors wax and wane, and change as a difficult child ages and passes thru developmental stages. Certainly if you don't agree with a treatment plan, medications, psychiatrist, ect. it is time for a new opinion. I'm all for 2nd opinions. But I am not going to feel like a bad parent because N is bipolar and will require medications to remain stable throughout her life. (unless some new miracle treatment is found) Any more than I allow myself to feel like bad parent because T requires seizure medications to remain stable with his epilepsy. (by the way if you want to read some scarey medication reactions those will turn your hair white) medications are an individual decision based on individual needs. [/QUOTE]
