This is bugging me about Justin's Residential Treatment Center (RTC) - Told to him in front of me today during family visit, about his Psychiatrist appointment Thursday... (simply medications management)
He told me he does not want to increase his dose of medications... (on a low .5mg) - the family counselor said,
well it is up to you you do not have to increase it if you do not want to... you have the opportunity to show us you do not need it...
This is not the first I heard this.. but it really bothers me... is this normal or strange, to give the kid the choice of medications he can or can not take?
I have been told by staff he needs an increase, (this is first dosing of new medication and they all say it wears off too fast, something I said before they put him on it, they said to me, well we must try low first.. then see ourself..)
