[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 90271, member: 1545"] Personally I would try the therapy route before I put an 11 year old on antidepressants. I would try a host of things before I would put a child on antidepressants. There are many studies that show that putting a child on certain AD's can actually intensify depressive symptoms. It is important to remember that psychiatrists prescribe pills. That's what they do. And in certain circumstances pill are a necessity- I'm not the pill Nazi. However if it were me I would try a psychologist. Try some talk therapy and some other non medicinal approaches first. And then, reassess where you are. in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
