[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 438189, member: 1550"] My son does not need medications, but I do. I am suicidal and depressed without them and have anger outbursts. I am so different on them. I never tell people not to try medication. I just think you have to make sure you have the right diagnosis first. I had a lot of BAD experiences on medications before I found the right ones. It took ten years to find the right ones, but even an antidepressant that didn't work as well as it should kept me alive and able to enjoy life some of the time. My problem is with misdiagnosed kids/adults, like my son. If it's not bipolar or ADHD, the medications will make the child even worse. My son is on the autism spectrum and does really well medication free. I have mood dysregulation disorder, anxiety disorder, and severe panic disorder and can not function without medication. I can not even leave the house on my own...and, yes, I tried all sorts of therapy for it. Nothing worked for me but the medication. Depends on the child and if the diagnosis is right. [/QUOTE]
