[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is a lot of hysterical over-reaction on this thread around using meds. However, having said that, you shouldn't take any medication with out being sure it's appropriate. (Just like you don't rush to take antibiotics.) We did a full evaluation with a group practice (not regular pediatrician) that offered psychological and psychiatric services for children. It involves a number of tests and questionnaires filled out by child, parent, and teachers. Only once we received that diagnosis did we proceed. We did a combination of therapy and medication for a while. The therapy helped tremendously we getting some important techniques. We also had to do a fair amount of adjusting of medication--both type and dosage. We are now at a great place, but it does take time and money.[/quote] + 1[/quote]
