Re:PBS Frontlline on medicating children

[Guest guest]

Obviously you’ve never had a 6 year old daughter

crying that she wants to die, or a large 10 year old screaming bloody murder

because her computer game was interrupted, or not going to school, or, well, I could

go on & on. We did try therapy first, & I was very disappointed that

being an art therapist, I didn’t seem to be able to help her. Medication

gets her to a point where we can work with her and hopefully will help her meet

social milestones so she doesn’t get too far behind. We are also doing

therapy, but we need the meds. We went off of them recently, and went back on

them with much relief!

All the Best!
