I came here with an open mind, so I'm looking at all information there is on this topic. Her brain is still growing and we don't know all the adverse ramifications that psychiatric medication may have concerning her future. This is not the first time I've heard it said, as my family tends to adopt a no-medication mentality. With that said, you can only imagine the guilt I feel as a parent, not only by questioning my own causality, but also suffering with every single dose of medication I give her.

I just don't know if I'm strong enough right now to be a part of a group where I'm being "called a murderer", even though the rest of you have been so wonderful. I have also been a moderator on a Yahoo group for small business owners, and I can tell you right now that these inflammatory posts would have been stopped dead in their tracks.

You wrote,[...the information that I read from the links Lou posted here has me thinking that I may be making a mistake in medicating (my child)...]
Let us reason together. Do chemicals that have been used in insecticides and in the commission of mass-murder have healing properties? Has there ever been anyone cured by using mind-altering drugs? Do the psychiatrists/doctors now claim that psychotropic drugs cure anything or do they now take the position that they are using the drugs to treat symptoms? Do chemicals address the underlying cause of depression? And if one takes these drugs for just a few weeks, can they become addicted to the drug so that if they stop the drug they could go into a hellish withdrawal and kill themselves thinking that they could never live in that state and that they would be better off dead? And when the doctor/psychiatrist gives the child the drug to take and tells the parent that the child has to take it for weeks before it "works", whatever that could mean, and then the psychiatrist says to he mom to stop the drug, does not the psychiatrist know that the child now could be an addict at age 14? And if grown people can not get off these drugs and say that the withdrawal is worse than heroin withdrawal, how could a child deal with such horror and while mom is asleep, kill themselves?
NOW BE ADSVISED
I KNOW THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF DEPRESSION IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO FREE THE CHILD FROM ADDICTION AND DEPRESSION
