[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I missed the part where you have talked to the pediatrician, the school counselor, and the therapist that they recommend. That is obviously where you need to start, and I can’t believe it’s gotten so bad without taking those basic steps. She needs your help. Help her. Get her help.[/quote]

I actually did talk to the school counselor and they said they were more or less too busy to help. I asked for referrals or some kind of recommendation for a local pediatric psychiatrist and they said they don’t keep a list like that. I also reached out to Maine health insurance to see if there are providers and in fact, there really aren’t any not many at all pediatric counselors the county I live in not in the DMV has a shortage of mental health counselors in general not just for kids, I tried a remote mental health counselor for someone in New Jersey. A few states away and that did not work out because it was not good to do it over the phone or zoom. It just didn’t work. [/quote]j

A developmental pediatrician could help. Some of the things you’re describing could be related to the seizures. Could also be other developmental issues. Could just need parent training to learn more effective ways of handling these situations. The seizures add an aspect to your situation where I’d start with pediatrician, neurologist, or developmental pediatrician to consider those effects first. The developmental pediatrician can look at other possible underlying issues too but regardless of the outcomes I’d consider parent training. [/quote]
