[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m going to just be super blunt. You lost me at “I prefer not to put him on meds.” Families and the kids themselves deserve some relief. If my parents had towed the “I prefer not to put my depressed and irritable teenage daughter on meds” line, I’d be long dead by suicide. Your child is suffering from a real condition, just like cancer is real. He, and you, deserve relief. [/quote]

Just to be super blunt as well, stimulant meds are known to cause irritability as a side effect, so prioritizing your kids academic success over their mental health is something to be questioned. [/quote]

He’s not on tbem for academics - but your defensiveness about ssris and assumptions are both highly unhelpful additions here so please move along [/quote]

Ok so why give him a medication he doesn’t need that is causing anxiety/irritation … [/quote]

because he does need it for emotional regulation and impulse control that was causing social difficulties [/quote]
