[QUOTE="Loving Abbey 2, post: 157200, member: 4845"] I have a whole family full of people who do not think difficult child should be on medication's. And I have to say its about 2 things: 1. quality of life with therapy and behavior plan--If kid hates themselves and never has any fun because thier behaviors get in the way--then it's time for action and 2. your husband may be missing the true nature of mental illness--they are neurologically based disorders, meaning there is something wrong with the way the child's brain is working--actually beleiving that is key for anyone to understand and agree with the use of medications and for a medication trial to be successful. Try to get husband to think of how difficult child must really feel when out of control and how bad that must make him feel about himself. And tell him that feeling will not go away without a lot of help, which may include medication if necessary. Maybe a good way to approach this may be to first look at natural treatments like diet and supplements. If that doesn't work and working with a psychologist for therapy and developing a behavior plan, then you can have a better case for medications. Part of the therapy work may need to be with you and husband to get on the same page and learn to support each other as parents. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
