"As you know Mrs. Vert, Psychiatrists are different from psychologists, I will be finding the reason for these behavioral changes through means and decide if he needs, medication options, referrals for psychotherapy, level of care needed, for example, if more intensive care is needed to appropriately address Jason's symptoms, options to find an appropriate treatment program will be discussed. Any recommended labs or procedures such as baseline tests before starting medications or tests to rule out any possible medical conditions that may contribute to symptoms." Luna explained thoroughly, some parents think psychologists and Psychiatrists are the same, and she ought to clarify what she does. Although Luna has the ability and power to be assigned to the psychology department, she preferred being a psychiatrist more.

"When did this start? I will have a thorough check with him and see if he has any problems then look if this behavior is caused by a sickness or he is just undergoing problems that we don't know. I can not assure you that we can cure him, but I will look into it." Luna said.

"So, Mrs. Vert, I will be needing a complete list of medications, in addition to psychiatric medications, a list of any and all psychiatric medications little Jason might have tried in the past, including how long he took them for, Jason's medical concerns and any diagnoses, family history of psychiatric issues, if there are any, if you please just fill in the sheet I have given you while I talk to your son. If you excuse me." She excused herself and the child to the observation room connected to her office and offered the child a seat before she started interviewing him.

"Hi there Jason, how are you feeling today?" Luna sat in front of his little chair so that they would meet eye to eye. Sometimes, children need to be alone so that they will have the courage to talk about their problems because most children fear their parents have the inability to say what they truly feel, and that is why Luna isolated herself and Jason from her mother.

"I am okay, there is nothing wrong with me," Jason said, his face held sternness even at the tender age of 12 and yet Luna could see through his vulnerability.

"I see, I guess you are indeed okay, so why did the woman bring you here?" Luna referred to Jason's mother as a woman to see how he will react, unlike other psychiatrists, Luna tends to see things through both the behavior and reactions of her patients before going down to his medical history and possible illnesses.

Luna calmly conversed with Jason who little by little started to get comfortable around her, it appears that Luna was right, the problem is not the child, it's the mother.

"What did she do?" Luna suddenly asked, she tried to divert his attention with snacks and toys, and Jason, like a normal child, picked up some toys he liked and started fiddling it around.

"She suddenly gets angry and bashes around, after they fought with Dad. It was pretty crazy, the woman is mental. I heard a loud bang and then complete silence, it was a deafening silence that I wanted to go out to check but before I could do it, she pounded my door and told me to come with her." Luna scrunched up her brows and looked over to see if Jason had any bruises, and he indeed had some if you look closely at his wrists and arms.

Jason slightly trembled and bit his lower lip, reluctant to say what happened next.

"It's okay, take your time." While Jason gathered his courage, Luna ringed the bell that is connected to her assistant and alerted him to call the stand-by cops instantly.
