Has your child been referred to a psychiatrist when you think they need a psychologist?

[utterlyconfused]

I'm not going to go into detail here, as I've posted about my ds before and it has been a long journey to get to where we are now. I have an appt with a psychiatrist for him. I phoned to query this and they said he had been lined up for psychologists but a psychiatrist had intercepted it. They said if I want to insist on psychologists it would mean another 4 months' wait. I intend to take him along but decline medication as I really don't think that's what he needs.

Any thoughts anyone?

My dd has seen a psychiatrist they dont necessarily give medication my dd didnt..

Oh, so did the psychiatrist help in some other way? If so, how?

She had weekly appointments talking to dd and making a diagnosis on way dd acted the way she did and making suggestions on how to deal with behaviour therapy etc but no drugs
