Yep...pyschiatrists most often see patients in need of medications and medical management of their mental health. I have worked with some amazing child Psychs....but they are few and far between. However, their M.D. carries the most clout diagnostically. If a well-respected psych concludes that your DD's struggles are due to an impairing medical condition requiring specific intervention in her school envionment, schools listen. The trick is finding the gem among dozens and dozens of duds.
