[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I have never had a pediatrician help with aggression, and we have been through the ringer. Their offices are also not set up to connect you with services. For people that are suggesting that - I wonder if you've ever tried? In my experience, they don't have the specialized knowledge base that you need.

Call your county's Behavioral Health Services - it may be a county government department or it may be outsourced to a non profit. They can get you connected with services the fastest.

Call them and tell them you're at a crisis point and need immediate help. They will do their best. But you can always call mobile crisis if you need immediate support. DC, Maryland, VA all have mobile crisis. Even if it's not immediate they can help guide you.[/quote]

Our pediatrician has never been able to help but they have helped us get an earlier appointment with a specialist by calling them directly and attesting to the seriousness of the situation. Not actually for this but for another very serious situation I was given an appointment waayyy far out as the first available but when we let the pediatrician know what was going on they called directly and got us in with a few days. I didn’t ask - they just understood that occasionally kids can’t wait. Maybe we are just lucky with our pediatrician but I have heard other people have this experience too so I don’t think it’s that rare.[/quote]
