[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because psych meds like SSRIs and anti-psychotics are very serious medications with a lot of side effects. They shouldn’t be prescribed just because your child is showing behavioral that you think is suboptimal. [/quote] Medication shouldn't be taken lightly, of course, but behavior that significantly bothers other people isn't why you medicate. You medicate because of how a person feels. You don't want your child to experience life always feeling terrible, on edge, anxious, angry at the world. Not because the resulting behavior is "suboptimal," but because that's a miserable way to feel.[/quote]
