[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 416701, member: 6546"] Hello and welcome! First - my soapbox! I know that psychiatric medications are prescribed all the time for kids these days as though it's no big deal - but personally? It really angers me that medications would be dispensed without a diagnosis. It's been explained to me (by a rather condescending psychiatrist) that if the medication works, THEN they know what the child "has"...but in my humble opinion that is baloney! And very irresponsible on their part to experiment with my child that way! Second - medications or no medications, sounds like there's been some trauma within your family. Has your 8 year old been thoroughly treated for the sexual abuse? That's a HUGE issue right there! Especially as the abuse had probably been going on for some time....possibly longer than anyone suspected. In your shoes, I would try and find a specialist who could help the whole family deal with the abuse issues. That would be my start. [/QUOTE]
