Finding a new therapist

[Reilly]

Thanks for your support! I am learning how terrible the mental health system is for kids. There is no inpatient therapy unless you are a harm to yourself or others ( damaging property doesn't count or being verbally aggressive). I contacted over thirty psychiatrists this morning only to be told they don't see kids, aren't taking new clients, or can't see him for weeks. Forget about child guidance centers. You can't even see their psychiatrists for months!!! I finally found a psychiatrist this afternoon and scheduled an appointment for three weeks from now. He is in crisis daily and requires immediate intervention (most likely with medicine). I am hoping we can get through each day until that appointment. He suffers from severe anxiety which quickly turns into aggression. He is unable to calm himself. Sadly, his internal system is somehow messed up and the part out has lost his support team internally. He never had to have control of the body this long and he is frustrated and depressed.
It is so sad. I want help for him and hope the mental health professionals I take him to will be of assistance. Time will tell.
Thanks again.
