Hi Kazob79

I’m Justine one of the moderators.  We have spoken on here before and I hope you are ok.  I’m glad you are chatting with other  forum users and I also hope you are finding their comments useful.  I recommend strongly that you get in touch with Young Minds.  I have suggested this in the past as they are the experts in this area, and can also escalate any concerns if needed.  They will be supportive and will be able to help you to explore your situation.  Please do call their helpline for information and advice.  Here are their details:

• Young Minds – they have a helpline to advise parents of children who have mental health problems on 08088025544

I hope this helps and I wish you and your family well.  Justine
