There is always a lot of concern with medicating children. Today more and more children are being DX'd as bipolar, and many are concerned about that. Bipolar disorder is a major mental illness, yet many people you talk to consider it a mild social disease; it is not. It is the 2nd worst of the mental illnesses, and all mental illnesses come with with a lot of social stigma attached.
When the child reaches adulthood, do you want them to own up to having a mental illness, and not get insurance, or employment because of it.
The drugs for bipolar are powerful drugs tested for use on adults, not for use on the growing brains of children.
Yes, of course, there are children with these diseases, but why is the rate of DXing them skyrocketing??
