[QUOTE="maxeygirls, post: 368875, member: 8869"] Great news! difficult child's mental health advisor through our insurance company was able to quickly find a psychologist who only does evaluations and a developmental pediatrician. I have a parent-only meeting with the psychologist next week and difficult child will begin evaluations the following week. They told me to CANCEL difficult child's next appointment with her psychiatrist. The pediatrician has asked for me to send the results from the evaluation as soon as I get them and we'll go from there. The unrealistic, hopeful part of me wants to get a paper back from the psychologist that reads "Your child has no mood disorder or other conduct disorder. Your daughter's problem is all because of your parenting, fix this, do that, talk to her in this way and the problem will vanish." But I know better and now I'm wondering if they'll change her diagnosis entirely, if it'll be something I haven't done tons of research on, or if she'll need medications again. I'm excited to be making progress but I'm also scared to death. [/QUOTE]
