[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, this isn’t how it works. Each doctor assesses your child through their specialty-specific lens. For example, dev peds simply referred us for autism testing. At no point, did she indicate we should seek consults with GI or neurology. Without educating myself on co-current conditions with autism, I doubt my child’s Celiac or sleep disturbances would have been caught.[/quote] +1 a lot of posters are bashing parents for not seeking testing that is not currently standard for prescribing SSRIs. It may be many parents could seek out other specialists based on their child's specific symptoms, but you can hardly blame parents who are following advice of licensed professionals. And for many kids SSRIs are the right choice in addition to therapy. My child is not on them, thankfully doesn't need them after a lot of therapy and work on our part, but I am and they have been life changing (in a good way).[/quote]
