[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 209095, member: 1233"] I suggest finding a Children's hospital and scheduling a multidisciplinary evaluation. Or at the least a neuropsychologist evaluation and a new psychiatrist. It would be a VERY good idea to have her seen by a pediatric neurologist and have an EEG done. (My daughter was thought to have ADHD inattentive type, psychiatrist was all ready to give medications, and we learned she has Absence Epilepsy - she just sort of "blanks out" rather than the stereotypical seizures. The ADHD medications would have made things WORSE.) I think asking your pediatrician about a good psychiatrist is an excellent idea, otherwise ask your insurance company. But medications because the psychiatrist doesn't know what to do, that seems wrong to me. What would he medicate for??? So many things can look like ADHD. [/QUOTE]
