[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry you are going through this because I can imagine it is extraordinarily stressful. I don't think you should be relying on a basic pediatrician for childhood psychiatric medication in a situation that involves so much disruption to life. My child with anxiety/autism had outbursts and difficulty at school that could sometimes come out as anger or refusal but which I now see were related to anxiety. I resisted putting him on an SSRI (tried cognitive behavior therapy etc) for years but eventually did because it was so disruptive to school, life, etc. Going on an SSRI was life changing. The main side effect was weight gain. I'm not happy about that but he is so much happier. Meltdowns are rare now. Most of the time he is easy going and cheerful. If you search DCUM there are psychiatric practices mentioned and you can ask your pediatrician for references as well. [/quote]
