[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard of SSRIs being used long term for young kids with severely impairing anxiety. It is definitely a last resort.[/quote]

But it's not. My young child was put on ssris. They never did any medical tests to rule out other causes. The pediatrician was a large group in montgomery county that has a psych dept. We didn't use their dept for the anxiety but dcs pediatrician was their medical director. He never ordered a single test to look for root cause

The psychiatrist who did medicate him was part of children's hospital. 
Not a single medical test to look at root causes.

Years after he was heavily medicated I figured it out tangentially from his bloodwork that is was medical.

Everyone answering is missing the point.
Yes you FEEL like you've done everything you can before going on ssris. But you don't even know what other tests should be done. And please believe that I'm not saying you should even know what those tests are. You're not doctors.  But your doctors should damn well know about them and be performing them before ssris (or in parallel).[/quote]
