[quote=Anonymous]"Except for the psychiatrist part. I would check out a child psychiatrist as well." But the general rule is don't medicate unless you've tried behavioral therapy and are still in behavioral therapy (ADHD excluded from this). As the mother of a slightly older child who has been to three psychologists, I personally don't believe age 5 is old enough to get a good evaluation and engage in good behavioral therapy to get to the point where you decide you must add meds to the mix. (The exceptions being with extreme behavioral problems, like early childhood bipolar, but given OP's child is doing okay in school I don't think it rises to this level).[/quote]
