[QUOTE="klmno, post: 358791, member: 3699"] Marcie, as I've said several times- but maybe people just think I'm exaggerating- the people in the courts tell the evaluator what results they want- and the evluator in our mental health dept gives them that. I'm not saying it's that way everywhere, I'm saying it's that way here. I've seen them do this twice with difficult child - completely throwing out and over-riding what higher qualified psychiatrists had come up with and recommended. If MST guy tells evaluator that they think I'm a sociopath, that's what the results will show and I'll have to take any treatment or medications they require for it without question. I have told them if they were willing to do a complete and thorough evaluation, including previous hx, etc, and not just go by what court people tell them, I would do that. They so far have not been willing to do that. Any data on this test says it should not be used alone to determine a diagnosis. What am I worried about MST guy telling them to look for- the very fact that they won't tell me anything other than that they think I have MI that I'm not treating and I'm not encouraging difficult child to comply or something and that's causing difficult child to reoffend is enough to worry me. First, I'm not encouraging difficult child to break the law. Second, the only diagnosis's I've had in the past are depression and anxiety and maybe PTSD although I never actually saw that in writing. Anyway, when stress starts getting to me I do go see a therapist. So what they are accusing me of is not true to begin with and since they won't say the diagnosis they think I have, it scares me. If they thought it was depression or anxiety it would appear they would say that since I have already acknowledged that in court. The only thing I can think of is that they think I'm ODD because I have told them I can't buy into a contract that says difficult child won't break the law if I cook what he wants for dinner more often. It's stupid. No amount of therapy is going to make me change my mind about that. If a qualified psychiatrist or psuch had evaluation'd me or difficult child and I was refusing treatment for a credible diagnosis, I could understand a court order for it.
