[QUOTE="klmno, post: 359690, member: 3699"] I do think though that if they suggest a medication for an anxiety then I get a court order to take it that it's going too far unless I am dealing with anxiety in a way that contributes to difficult child's difficulties or harming him in some way. If I'm dealing with it in other ways therapuetic methods, for instance) that should suffice. Besides, it's not like medications will really take it all away. It runs in my family and I have familial tremors. medications can help but not completely make it stop. I'm not being self-destructive or whatever so I just think they can sometimes take these things too far. I still think it's odd though that when they order a mental health evaluation on a kid in detention, they only have someone from the detention center (Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)) talk to the kid a few mins, read the court record, and talk to the parent and PO, ignore any documentation that comes straight from a psychiatrist to them with a diagnosis and recommendations, and make a determination. That's how it comes out bbeing more what the court wants to see as a diagnosis and treatment. What they do with the parent is either get an MMPI or require all previous mental health records, 90 min clinical interview, etc. [/QUOTE]
