Started at 13 years old, 10 months ago. Has grown 3-4 inches in that time. |
My kid took an SSRI for the last 3 years of HS. He entered HS at 5'7" and left at 6'3".
I would trade improved mental health for a couple of inches any day, and I'm sure he would say the same. I would rather him be alive and short than risk suicidality, and the extreme impacts of irritability and agression that we were beginning to see. |
