Seeing Psychiatrist 6-16-09

Hi. I'm new and have a few questions. I have a daughter that has ADHD, although she hasn't been officially diagnosed yet. We haven't gotten around to that, but she will be starting kindergarten in the fall and it's imperative that we do it before then. Anyway, my question is, What do I need to ask at this appointment with the psychiatrist? I don't know what to expect. Her pediatrician referred her to this dr after looking at the survey thing her teachers and I filled out last year. Thanks in advance! Jennifer

Here is some reading for you to do before you visit the doctor. I think these articles will answer a lot of your questions.

That should get you started. Good luck, Dena
