14. What if my child is incorrectly diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)? Will the intensive be rendered useless to other types of brain dysfunction? Do I need to be sure of my child's RAD diagnosis before attempting an intensive? |

I treat families not labels. It is not necessary to have a diagnosis of RAD. I work with families with various types of behavioral concerns. The most confusing aspect of mental health when it comes to parents, is the misinformation that they are given from misinformed, often times misled, physicians. It has never been proven that Bipolar, ADHD, or any of the other disorders are a genetic condition. Your child is being given a label for a behavior.
