Guest guest Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Any advice appreciated. My son who is suffering from OCD, panic attacks, transient tics and suicidal ideation(Possibly from meds) finally got in to a good treatment center his second visit is this week. I informed his school advisor that he is going there because he has been out of school this week due to the crippling anxiety. His advisor tells the school psycologist(quick recap on this -this psychologist is not trained in CBT exposure therapies and we have seen him before and my son would not open up to him)So the school Psycholgist takes it upon himself to call my sons new doctor, He then calls me and said that the school psychologgist wants to be part of the treatment plan problem is my son told the doctor he wanted his treatment confidential and not to be told to the school, that may be unreasonable but at the point he is now any further anxiety and he will crack. He does not like the school psychologist and I found him very inadequate and doesnt really know anything about OCD just straight talk therapy- So the new doc says unless my son gets on board with working with the school psychologist also, she feels that she cannot treat him-My question is this, this is a minor child at the end of his rope and in desperate need of help can she legally turn him away because of that schools phone call also did his advisor have the right to give him that information so he could take it upon himself to call my sons doctor? Is this even legal? I feel like the school just sabotaged him getting help by that phone call? any advice on if she can turn him away for this?
