I agree. I work in healthcare with them all day. I was careful about my phrasing, limiting it to describing my prediction for what my child's future behavior would most likely be like based on her pattern. Even with the doc that gave her adderall, I think all I said was, "I'm a little afraid of this because the first time she took prednisolone, she had a psychotic reaction". This one insists that her sleep problems are behavioral and I can't understand why... we were just asking for another appointment. She told us to wait several months and let the team gather info, which we did, with two different teams... now it's been 11.5 months and no psychiatric treatment. That's when I got pissed. Oh and she's 14.
