Recommendations for Independent Psychiatrist

5 replies

Hi.

Can anyone recommend an independent mental health psychiatrist?

We would like to have ds's mental health and anxiety levels assessed as he had been exhibiting challenging behaviour but is now relatively calm. However, he is still anxious about school and we feel that it would be detrimental to his mental health to be sent in. Other professionals think that as a 14 year old, he should not have that much say in his placement (note, not education). Ds has LD and ASD.
