My daughter saw three different psychologists before we found the "one" that could help her. (the first one was a joke) It was I who suggested to her previous psychologist, that she see a psychiatrist, (ya me, and I ask if she could be biplolar, and he replied no.) that had been recommended to me by a friend. From there, I found her a different psychologist that was also recommended to me and hit the "jackpot", so to speak. It takes a lot of time and searching to find the right one, and it's up to you to do it. At least that's the conclusion I came too, because nobody else would help us. The doctor she was seeing wasn't doing anything for her, and for almost two years she was going to undiagnosed as Bipolar II. (the very one I asked if she was biplolar) I reaserched on the internet, looked up medications and her symptoms. You have to be aggressive, and I learned that the hard way. I worried about hurting the doctors feelings because we really liked him, but you must do what is best for your child. I would go into the office with a list of medications I had done research on the internet and ask about her trying them. The are the EXACT medications she is on today, and working well so far. I guess what I am saying is, put on your pads, helmet, and start pushing until you get the doctor that can help. There is one out there, and I don't feel that it's up to the school. You may need to see several, and so what! What is your main goal? Let me know how it's going.-L
