[quote=Anonymous]I would see a psychiatrist first b/c if medication is needed they can prescribe it. A child psychiatrist can evaluate if it's a behavioral source and/or chemical and can also recommend other therapies. Even if you get medication, a neuropsych eval would be a good idea to identify any learning disabilities. Behavior therapy with a psychologist would also be helpful if issues persist. (Some kids can hold it together for school then let it out on the parent they see more often, so it may not be a reflection of the kid's relationship with her mom.)[/quote]
