[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 71623, member: 1550"] Sara, I know your son had a bad reaction to medications, and that you don't like them, and that's your right. But many of us can function BECAUSE of our medications. Like I said, there is no blood test for MS, but it exists. There is no test for being mentally challenged, but some people are. There is no blood test for ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, bipolar, etc. but differences that harm a person from functioning do exist and always have. It's why they used to have lock-down mental institutions. Psychiatry is in it's infancy, but that's no reason not to try to get help for your child if the child can't function. That doesn't mean there are no mistakes. There are. But I'm grateful for Psychiatry. It took a long time to find medications that helped me, but I finally have a life. I didn't really have much of a life before that, unless you consider considering how to kill myself, fighting with everyone, raging and being unable to get out of bed to work having a life. I'd like to see Breggen live that way and not try medication. [/QUOTE]
