Hi there...I can't stop reading...there is always another thread more informative than the last. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion(s) for how to get doctors more interested in giving the patient further tests...and perhaps even an MRI...to help rule out other physical ailments...which could be contributing to the mood swings my daughter is having. They just "decided" that it's all a mental health issue...but I am concerned that she may have some other medical problem that no one is ever going to know about...due to the fact that no one is looking. I cannot take my daughter to the doctor myself because she becomes so violent that she is an inpatient at a mental health facility. I am working with Kaiser...but they don't seem to care about checking her for other medical problems. I just remember my father and also a man at my office whose diabetes got out of hand...and they became impossible to be around. My father was mean, angry and would say horrible things when his sugars were out of whack...I tried to get someone to set up tests for my daughter...but they won't do it.
I feel like something is being missed. What if her mood swings are being caused by something else?
