[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 30583, member: 3388"] Linda, I totally agree with your view on medications. Without medication, I do not think difficult child 1 would be able to function in a regular high school setting. After difficult child 2's new evaluations are completed, he will be put on medication if it is going to improve his ability to handle life's ups and downs on a daily basis. Or, should I just say, to handle life at all??? [img]:hammer:[/img] I think it is necessary to look at the whole picture. You're right - medication is only a part of the treatment plan. When used properly, medication helps our difficult children become stable enough to reap the benefits of their treatment plans. husband and I weren't always on the same page when it came to medication. However, after seeing how much better difficult child 1 is doing, it has opened up his eyes. It is too bad medication is being given so much bad press. While it isn't for everyone, it definitely can help our difficult children achieve a higher level of functionality. WFEN [/QUOTE]
