OP, I have a good friend with a child with mental health issues. She had much faster results by going through emergency when he escalated. I know it sounds strange but mental health/breakdowns etc are treated in our children's hospital along with physical illnesses. If your state is lacking in mental health care maybe emerg could be an means to a quicker result for you.

Much luck! My friend struggled for years with her child's problems and it wasn't until the child was hospitalized that they were able to get a full diagnosis and treatment. He is a completely different child now. He was diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, tourettes and sensory issues. It's no wonder they couldn't sort everything out with short office visits.
