The retired psychiatrist has been picking apart the Risperdal-Biederman-Bipolar connection and in the last couple of posts, it is this one that got me choked up, when reading this part:
"What difference does it make? It’s huge. I want psychiatrists who see very disruptive kids to have to agonize over every prescription they write for big time medications just like I have to. I want them to be sure about those "tears and dispair." I want them to spend time with the kid. And in those cases that come along where they do use these medicines, I don’t want them to be able to kid themselves that they’re treating some disease that they understand. And I guarantee that they won’t be routinely prescribing Atypical Antipsychotics to children irresponsibly, because justifying that use of medicine in court requires a lot of documentation. You need to be able to prove that the alternatives are worse – short term and long term."
thank you, Doctor!
