[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 490539, member: 7083"] The professionals learn textbook cases, and often have trouble seeing outside that box. I agree with Buddy - I'm just a mom, but what I read immediately had me thinking of attachment issues. At the very least, it couldn't hurt to get an opinion from an attachment specialist. I would let the psychiatrist know that while you understand that you are sorting all of these other things out, that addressing sleep has to be the first priority. Period. For one, I don't think you're ever going to get a truly accurate look at anyone who is so chronically sleep-deprived, let alone evaluate how any medications are working. For another, YOU need him to sleep. You can't take care of yourself, let alone your children, if you aren't sleeping. It has to be priority number one. Welcome to our corner of the world...am glad you found us. [/QUOTE]
