Here is the video that I saw in my Child Psychology class. I have always been passionate about this topic, but this video made up my mind about what my blog would discuss!
Here's the link: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/medicatedchild/view/
It is the first video titled: "Chapter 1: What's going on?" It's about 57minsutes long but even if you only watch the first 20-30 minutes it'd be worth it!
This is a fascinating video but also a little bit scary!
ReplyDeleteThe trends of doctors prescribing 8 or 9 medications to children are appalling. I think that practice of stabilizing moods in children with the medicines used to treat adults are not good. In the video we can see the side effects. I believe that many mental illness can be minimized with some kind of meditation.
