[quote=tabira][quote=Anonymous]Dr. Selassie in Bethesda or Chevy Chase takes insurance, not sure about new patients.

Also, because it sounds like standard antidepressants aren't working, is there any reason to suspect type II bipolar, which is where the manic phases aren't dramatic? [/quote]
Thank you for the tip. Will look into it. 
What is the right diagnosis? That is a loaded question. Kid just went through a neuropsych eval. Got bunch of diagnoses, none new. The psychologist wasn't too sure which are the root causes that triggered or worsened other diagnoses. Clear as mud. Kid was not impressed with the level of due diligence by the doctor. She is super smart and she was right. She wrote a long email to the doc. The doc essentially said insurance pays for only so much due diligence!!

During my search, there was another psychologist I liked with good reputation and a comprehensive approach for neuropsych eval. Couldn't afford her. She doesn't take insurance. I tried to figure out how much the insurance would cover the out of network doc. It was a struggle for a month. Repeated answer from the insurance - they will assess after I file a claim. Is there another world than mental health care that is more bizzarro?[/quote]
