NEVER NEVER NEVER NYC. It is a rat race, kids are literally messed up there, drugs, depression, anxiety, you name it.

my sister has raised 3 kids there and [b]each one has had their share of "issues" [/b]as has all their friends and their friends kid.REALLY messed up and seems the richer you are the more this is the case.

Its sad. She finally got wise and moved the entire family to CT and they are all doing much much better now. NOT A PLACE TO RAISE A FAMILY.[/quote]

It's primarily parents who have $$$ to spend and moms who have time to waste - that combo is irresistible for some enterprising doctors.  A good friend of mine is a practicing psychologist in NYC, there are many stories of ethically questionable diagnoses and "therapies".  My friend says that some practices won't accept a patient unless there is a commitment of several sessions a week including a family session and a session for a parent.  That's not because the situation is dire, it's because they know that these families will pay whatever asked.

I've raised 2 kids in NYC (Brooklyn), plus one is still at home.  My kids' and my kids friends' experience is drastically different from what the PP is describing, but then we are middle class.[/quote]
