[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The standout, to me, is the lack of national or state standards for psychiatric care----- which should BEGIN _ not end_ with medical evaluation. Medical evaluation isn't mentioned once in the article and I bet not one of the many "professionals " she and her daughter have seen, including the inpatient hospitals, did any medical evaluation. She should be tested for the known biological causes of anxiety and depression, first. But no one in the psychiatric community has any long term benefit from doing so. After, and ruling out biology, there needs to basic standards of care of psychiatric patients. There are none. Same for education. There are none. [/quote] Has your kid ever been hospitalized? They absolutely do medical evaluations. And it sounds like the author's kid was at Shepherd Pratt, where my kid has also spent quite a lot of time. They 100% do medical evals.[/quote]
