[QUOTE="Malika, post: 572541, member: 11227"] Just when I thought I'd got it sorted out, lol... There are no easy answers here. It just isn't black and white. We could try the experiment with J if his psychiatrist was in agreement though I imagine it takes time to see what the results are going to be. But I just feel instinctively the results would not be this ideal thing... after all, so many kids taking medications still seem to have terrible issues and problems. As for J's self-confidence, it's hard to know. He does, for sure, get a lot of disapproval and rejection and that is horrible, yes. But he seems happy, resilient and self-confident most of the time. Indeed, just tonight when I picked him up from school, he told me "Mummy, I was really good today!" Smiling, I asked the assistant if it was true and she said, "yes, he was happy - he's always happy!" And actually I do hear quite a lot about how medications make children not happy, quite depressed and anxious... This is not an easy decision, for sure. [/QUOTE]
