Children_And_Prescription_Drugs

Children And Prescription Drugs Children on Psychiatric Drugs On many occasions children are given unnecessary psychiatric drugs. These children are given these drugs without knowing if they are needed. I think this is wrong. There is a certain age that once they reach you know if these drugs are neccessary but doctors are prescribing children drugs when they are only two years old. Even to me five years old is too young to know if they in fact need drugs or just special attention. Kindergarten teachers are recommending to some parents that their child should go on a drug called Ritalin because the child is over-active. That is only because the teacher does not want to deal with the child instead of just giving the child the special attention that he needs. That is no reason for a child to be on medication. These drugs have side effects. Many of which they do not even know. Children should not have to suffer the side effect just because the teacher is too lazy to deal with them in the right manner. Another reason children should not take medication is because they are not able to live a normal childhood children, drugs, child, medication, should, because, special, needed, know, just, attention, years, wrong, take, out, normal, need, given, even, effects, zombies, teacher, supposed, side, reason, really, psychiatric, one, old, new, giving, find, doctors, deal, another
