[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 696018, member: 20267"] From what I understand, it was a much different time as far as peoples' views on psychology, and SSRIs. We live in a much more permissive time. Too permissive, as is often the case. I do not agree with putting children on drugs for just about anything their parents dislike about them. I realize that many children do greatly benefit from amphetamines, but there are also many who are on it more for the benefit of the parent than for the child. We also start people on SSRIs very young, and much more frequently than we need to. We need to find a good balance. Take care not to deny somebody something that could be very beneficial for them, but to make sure that what is being prescribed is actually needed. Especially with children, doping them up should not be the go to, the initial reaction, as it so often is. [/QUOTE]
