RE: Medicating Children with Additional Needs

in #adsactly7 years ago

People have a tendency to over medicate. I was once on medication to help me cope. I cannot say it did me any good. Overall I discourage medicating children and look at it as a last resort rather than a first. Pill in our society seem to be a band aid approach to a bigger problem and only address the symptoms rather than the cause in many cases. Diet, exercise, spiritual growth and environment can be contributing factors to the problem. Thanks @beautifulbullies

I absolutely agree with you. There are usually other ways to manage the issue, medication should definitely only be considered when all else fails. Thank you for your comment :)
