[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 33990, member: 3450"] Hi, my difficult child 2's therapist (who is a social worker) came up with her diagnosis but only after seeing her for nearly 2 years. He and she came up with it together--dissociative disorder. Her psychiatrist thought she was ADHD, had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), suffering from depression...she certainly had symptoms compatible with those conditions. Her therapist, on the other hand, wasn't diagnosing her with anything--he had to wait til she trusted him enough to completely open up with what was going on. It all makes sense now--the ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and depression symptoms are due to the underlying disorder. She is making a lot of progress now that everyone understands this. I don't blame the psychiatrist for diagnosing her with the other disorders and trying medications for those--difficult child 2 was only seeing her occasionally and mostly just for the medications. I am thankful she has a patient, wise therapist who has been openminded and not set on a particular diagnosis--waiting for her to trust him enough to open up. Jane [/QUOTE]
