Instead of spending $$$ on your clothes or trips or DC pad or whatever, why not invest it in your child's mental health and find a therapist (NOT a psychiatrist) worth a shit - pay the $$$$.

I mean seriously, are you F-ing KIDDING ME????[/quote]

Please go back to general parenting.  You are ignorant and you don't know what you are talking about.

I have seen children become psychotic because of extreme anxiety.  I have seen great suffering, children who couldn't ;earn or socialize because of the intrusiveness of their anxieties.  What the SCIENCE tells us (science, not your ideological blinders) is that untreated mood disorders in children affect the chemistry of the brain, so that the disorders become more entrenched and difficult to treat.  Mentally ill children who are not treated become mentally ill adults.  The ones who are treated have an excellent shot at productive, happy lives.

OP was asking caring parents who have been there for advice.  You are neither of these things so please go away.[/quote]

Can you read?  I most certainly gave advice - the advice was to get your children real therapy that they obviously need rather than just throwing hard core meds at a 3.5 yr old.  10 yr old.  or any little kid.  And the "SCIENCE" shows that CBT is often more effective than drugs.  I'm not some DCUM hippie against all medications, but for a CHILD - under 12?  under 5????  I would certainly exhaust all non-pharmacological options before drugging my child.  Like therapy.  Like what is the root of the problem as far as environment.[/quote]
