Sorry this is long.
About a yr ago I saw GP about then 8yo DS who has a lot of behaviour, emotional & social problems. Often difficult at school. GP said she'd see what she could do; I wasn't aware that she was referring us to anyone. In July I had a phone call where someone identified themselves as part of a charity who could offer anger management classes for DS in our area in future. I said yes, got a letter, 2 months later another later about when the AM classes would be.
DH took DS to the classes 2-3 months ago but DS really did not engage. Did not recognise he had an anger problem & frequently asked "Why am I here?"
DS has been especially difficult at school & at home lately so I read about CAMHS on MN and phoned up GP ask about that; it turns out that DS was referred to CAMHS last yr, hence the AngerMan classes! I dug out the paper work we have about the classes and it does spell out CAMHS on a feedback questionnaire but not on the other letters. Maybe I've lost some paperwork or should have realised, I didn't know that I needed to keep detailed notes (I do now!). But they also said that DS had undergone assessment (has he? When? 
). So best I could do is take DS back to GP and then... I don't understand what more they might do.
I know people slag off CAMHS but if you had a good experience, what did they do? I am wondering if seeing a private psychologist would be better (but then I am not sure what they could do either, iyswim).
TIA.
