[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is PP. I’m VERY sorry your pediatrician has been so unhelpful, and I understand how desperate you are (truly), but a pediatrician shouldn’t be messing around with prescribing medications for a child who is having symptoms this severe. You need a psychiatrist. Would an OT help as well? Do you get survives through the school system? If not, connect with ChildFind.[/quote]

OP here and fair enough. It’s just such an isolating feeling when the medical provider who is supposed to be a partner in your child’s whole development refuses to see you and treats you like just a number at their practice. [/quote]

I agree with PP but you should definitely find a new pediatrician anyway. Our pediatrician can get you in sooner than that if necessary and would be helping you connect with services. You need someone who is a more of a partner.

I am so sorry for everything you are going through. My child had a horrible period at that age, though not remotely that bad and several times I took my other child and locked us in another room. Absolutely refusing to ever engage in any way physically (even by restraining) was the best for my child. But you are absolutely in a different place so I don’t know if that’s going to work for you. I hope things improve soon.[/quote]
