[QUOTE="Josie, post: 232749, member: 1792"] I would probably be considered to be a "naturalist" since my kids are not currently on medications for their psychiatric issues. However, I am a firm believer in brain chemistry or function causing these problems and do think it isn't always possible to find a "natural" solution. I think sometimes medications are the answer. I have tried them in the past and, especially for difficult child 2, may try them again. That being said, I would have a lot of trouble with a psychiatrist who did not take my concerns seriously about side effects that I might be noticing. It sounds like she is dismissing your observations just because you have reservations about medications. The medications do have side effects and you are the one that will notice them. As MWM said, you will have to decide if he is better on or off the medications. [/QUOTE]
