On Thursday we changed Psychiatrists and while I know that everyone is different it really surprised me at how different his approach was. MAC and I had made a deal and she was supposed to do her own talking. Everyone we had been seeing had asked her questions and she would give them her sullen look and refuse to talk. The new doctor was gregarious and seemed to put her at ease right away. Also, while the other offices always seemed dark his office had two sides with windows and yesterday was a nice sunny day.
We discussed the medications she was on and why and he has taken her off some, upped the dose on one and has gone back to trying an ADD medication to try to help her with organization and impulsivity. When we left his office both MAC and I were happy (which is a first).
I guess psychiatrists are like snowflakes too…just like children.
