[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Wanda thinks now the mood swings are menstrual related. She says the mood swings are worse in the two weeks before her period...and that is why she is thinking that birth control would help if the mood swings are hormonal.

She would need to see a doctor to get her on a prescription. [b]I think her plan was to give Sarah her own supply for a couple months (Wanda isn't dating right now) and if it helps then go to the doctor.[/b] I told her I thought that was a bad idea and she should go to the doctor first but Wanda doesn't feel Sarah's doctor listens or makes good decisions.

Lets say the mood swings are menstrual related - would the pros of controlling mood swings with BCP outweigh the cons/risks of BCP?[/quote]

this mother sounds like she has no clue how to raise a daughter. been a tween, growing up, having the period are normal facts of life women do not need to be medicated for (unless this is one of those rare cases where there is a mental problem, but then a doctor needs to treat it, not a clueless person whith a 9th grade education). it sounds like she does not know how to raise her daughter, gets defensive (everything is her child's fault and the child just need to be good) and try to medicate the child instead of learn how to parent. the idea of giving the drug to the child as a test, without even seeing a doctor, is especially bad. I would even consider if you should report it to child protective services or the counselor or somebody else. if the mother talked to you, you should rally be clear that giving prescription drugs to a child is really really a bad idea [/quote]
