[QUOTE="DDD, post: 33960, member: 35"] Two more thoughts on this subject...lol. Alot of the newbies have kids who are diagnosis'd with ADHD by their Pediatricians. As a result their kids have reactions to medications and they think their kids are devil spawn or that they are lousy parents. Around here the Pediatricians actually include in their yellow page ads "we treat ADHD". Good Grief! So delays and bad pattern setting lead to worse issues. Secondly, the Psychologists can't prescribe medication or monitor it. So...if you get a diagnosis...you still have to find an MD to write the Rx and, more importantly, help get to the right balance. I have had over forty years many lousy Psychologists (with multiple degrees) and ONE totally outstanding one who basically made it possible for GFGmom to end up "kinda" normal..lol. I have had a horrid Psychiatrist, you all may remember, who actually told difficult child to sit still and asked him "do you realize I could Baker Act you?" Yep, he still practices here. It's the luck of the draw but I prefer to start at the top of the chain. DDD [/QUOTE]
