[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 485502, member: 59"] I've thought about this recently in regards to difficult child and have a couple thoughts. First I think there are doctors who are way to quick to prescribe medications and those that are very responsible. I also believe the right medications can really help a child if they are prescribed by a qualified pediatric psychiatrist who has a great deal of experience in this field. BUT I have thought back to the medications my difficult child was on and the fact that now she is on none and I wonder if any of those medications were really necessary. She was not and is not ADHD or bi-polar or depressed or any of the labels that would have supported the medications. But she was certainly out of control and not able to function without them at times. So was it just easier for me???? I ask that now and have to think yes. I also believe that she has Borderline (BPD) and that is what caused a lot of her early behavior and there is no medication for that. She is doing very well on no medications now which tells me none of them were necessary, unless her brain chemistry changed as she got older. Nancy [/QUOTE]
