[QUOTE="keista, post: 436846, member: 11965"] My DD1 is not text book either. She does have anxiety which is pretty much textbook, but she also has other mood issues completely unrelated to anxiety. They are diagnosis'ed as Mood Disorder not otherwise specified (Not Otherwise Specified aka not textbook) It means that YES this child has symptoms. She has difficulties, but they don't 'fit' any specific diagnosis. This was only the beginning of her getting a scrip. Next came figuring out which scrip will work best for her. They don't just toss you out the door, they have to monitor that scrip to see if it's right for your child. Yes, but that usually comes from the pediatrician. You're already past that stage. You are in the psychiatric world where they look at behavior and emotions more closely. You might feel better if you researched on the internet some possible diagnosis's. ADD/ADHD, ODD (not really a diagnosis, but something to go on), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Bipolar, Mood disorders. This way your 'mom gut' will have real information and at least some idea of where a diagnosis might lean towards. The pros might tell you something completely different - listen, research and observe - they might be right, and being so close to your son, can skew your perceptions. This happens even to the best of us. You are on the right path. Don't let the "what ifs" keep you form seeking the help you and your child need. [/QUOTE]
