Reply #3: hot button for me

[mopinko]

boy, i could go on and on. i have a bipolar teen. she was terribly harmed by sloppy prescribing by stupid doctors. we are lucky she did not succeed in her suicide attempts. i made a decision to disregard medical advise. it was one of the hardest thing i ever did. i was aware that it could be viewed as medical neglect. fortunately we now have docs that we agree with, and she is doing better.
but, my reason for putting in my 2 cents here is to say that until you have been through it, you think that these "professionals" can and will help you when you have a kid with problems. but it's a crap shoot. i have no doubt about which view would prevail in court, tho.
