[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since you already have "an outstanding family psychologist and psychiatrist", what is the diagnosis?  Didn't these people evaluate her?

She is terrorizing the family and screaming and throwing stuff and you are afraid of meds?  OP, your posts don't make sense.[/quote]
Why not start with firm and consistent boundaries before jumping in bed with Big Pharma?

I think the parents need some firm counseling too.[/quote]

OP here (I will henceforth identify myself, so you might better help me).  I agree with this completely. And I am reluctant to "get in bed with big pharma".  I am no lobbyists buddy. [/quote]

You start with a diagnosis of your kid, get counseling for the family and child and behavioral supports.  You may want to contact a behavioral therapist who can help you with ways to improve the home life.

If you do these things and your kid is still suffering, choosing meds that does not put you "in bed with big pharma."  That is the silliest and most ignorant phrase I've seen on here.  If your kid was a diabetic, you'd give her insulin, if she had trouble seeing, you'd get her glasses.  Medication for anxiety or ADHD is really no different.
