HELP anyone..i need to get started getting my teen help ie: diagnosing, treating, therapy etc. Where do i start? What kind of doctor do i start with. ASAPemergency! I would start with your child's ped and then on to a psychol. thanks granny
i will start there & hope for more help - therapy & Meds? SOON! Do you have a teen with adhd? Just looking to compare symptoms
i agree, mention it to the pediatrician for a referral to a pediatric neuropsych.
They will do the formal evaluation and diagnosis. I believe a psychopharmacologist who specializes in medications is your best route, if you chose to medicate. Our pediatrician told us he is NOT a specialist with those types of meds and refered us to the pharmacologist. He may also qualify for an IEP or 504 at school as well, but that is for a later post. Just get an appointment and go from there!
Best wishes!!
Oh, my son is 10 and very ADHD
