[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 412541, member: 1514"] If there was another way to handle any issues, diseases, disorders, illnesses, or whatever we would all jump on them. When someone mentions diabetes in relation to medicating children with mental health issues it isnt as if we are just saying...oh, people with diabetes just take insulin and they are fine so we just give kids with mental health issues medication and they will be fine. It isnt that simple and we know it. People with diabetes have to live a certain lifestyle in order to keep their diabetes in check. They have to watch what they eat, check their blood sugar several times a day, exercise, deal with stress well, take their medication regularly, see their doctor's and other assorted things. Same goes for people or children with mental illnesses. Actually except for checking their blood sugar the list could be much the same. [/QUOTE]
