[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love that only like 1 person on this thread actually asked why kid might be feeling like this. Everyone just goes straight to Prozac. Bananas [/quote] OP said her kid is adhd and likely ASD as well. Parents of similar kids know why her son is feeling this way. He’s neurodiverse and in addition, his medication to treat adhd also exacerbates irritability. Unfortunately a lot of parents end up in a medication cascade like this, even though it’s medically the best option for our struggling kids. Nobody wants to put their kid on one medication, let alone two or three. But the parents here haven’t “jumped to Prozac.” We had had struggling kids who are not able to function. At best, they have a diminished quality of life (as do their families) and at worst, they can be dangerous to themselves and others. [/quote]
