[quote=Anonymous]I am the anti-drug poster from before and am glad to hear OP is trying something else first. It's sad that most doctors these days will prescribe anti depressants and other psycho pharmaceuticals as if they were cough drops. Especially developing brains are sensitive already and adding drugs to the mix is not a good idea unless there are no other options. Exercise, social contact, a healthy diet and making sure vitamins are in order are proven measures to treat depression. OP is doing the right thing as long as a professional therapist is also part of the picture...and it is! So, best of luck to you and your son (and the entire family) OP, you ARE doing the right thing. Don't let anybody take away that gut feeling and trust in your own judgement...you have the help you need right now.[/quote]
