New psychiatrist for my daughter.

4. None of these drugs have been tested in kids.

Plus, as kids grow and hormones change, the drugs need to be changed often. I know this, but it is still so hard to deal with. We have started a chart and have already noticed patterns. Hopefully we will be able to head off many of her outbursts before they get extreme.

What makes this even more painful is that sometimes the person she really is shines through. At those times, I see the kind, thoughtful and intelligent person she really is. But lately, this person has been obscured by the disease. Even though I complained about the loss of normalcy for the rest of my family, I also grieve for the loss of her childhood.

Thanks for the support. I am glad your husband is doing better.
