[QUOTE="totoro, post: 26467, member: 3155"] We had an evaluation with 2 social workers... one was great and one not so... they didn't really help with the diagnosis part of it... but the good one was nice to talk with and helpful for directions. The good one got the diagnosis close to accurate and the not so ggod one had it wrong and didn't take any time with difficult child... So we had kind of planned from the beginning to seek a further diagnosis and evaluation regardless... which is a pain. But if you really want it to be accurate and to know what to do with the diagnosis it is really so great to seek a nuero-psychiatric evaluation and then a psychiatrist. The other thing is my difficult child had long rages and that was one of the factors that ruled out just adhd... that is not typical of adhd, the rages are more short and easier to end. Long drawn out rages that can not be stopped very easy if at all, or violent in nature... which my difficult child was prone to long violent rages. This is more a sign of BiPolar (BP) than adhd. good luck...and hang in there [/QUOTE]
