[QUOTE="buddy, post: 533859, member: 12886"] Janet's post made me think again....while I suspect your upset is that you are not convinced this is right for your son yet....I am hoping he is not aware of your feelings on this. If it happens that he does legitimately have a neurological issue like adhd, I'd hate for him to worry that his dad is upset with him or feeling like he is a "mental patient" in the stigma sense of the word. I agree, there is nothing wrong with needing mental health care and there are many difficult child's and parents here who spend a lot of time in the mental health system....with good and not so good experiences. But for those who need it we generally look at it as another form of health care, not a thing to be avoided because it makes a person defective in any way. I imagine you dont mean that, and this is just about not wanting your son to be mislabeled...but it is just a thought. [/QUOTE]
