[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 37202, member: 1498"] I, frankly, am tired of the "getting them help" rhetoric. We around here have been trying to get our kids "help" for years, often paying a whole lot of money only to see our kids get worse. I wish people would stop talking as though there is some magic treatment or magic pill that will fix kids with behavioral issues, like alls we gotta do it take them to a doctor or put them in a hospital and everything will be fine. I'm sick and tired of the "get help" oversimplification of brain disorder problems we euphemistically call "mental illness". Considering this guy was reportedly taking antidepressants, I'd be much more happy to hear more talk about recognizing adverse reactions to psychotropics and less talk that makes it sounds like all anyone needs is a pill and some counselling. If it were that easy, how many of us would be here? [/QUOTE]
