Edit: Heh, too late, Kat!!
No, just reacting to something I'm watching on Frontline. Basically, it's about psych diags in kids and seems to have a bit of a slant towards the overdiag theory. And my personal filter is taking it wrong, I think. I do worry about that (I'm ridiculously resistant to drugs when my own person is involved.) Cause of my cousin and her fight to get effective psych care and coverage starting at 14 for severe bipolar, as well as some kids I've cared for who have really and truly needed what was tried starting when they were as young as 6, and the fight to get it. They weren't cases of overzealous diags or meds. So I get over-reacty at times.
There is high energy and moody and tantrums and then there is a 11 year old suicide.
THIS IS WHY I DELETED, darnit....

There was a similar thing on an NPR show today.

I was going to say, I bet she's watching Frontline...

Really?
I really of two minds. I think the lack of studies on the effects on kids is terrifying. And I worry about over-diag in this pop-culture-Dr.Phil-self-diag age.I've seen kids overmedicated. But at the same time, I've seen real problems in people close to me that can't by any stretch be considered a case of over-diagnosis, and seen their battle to get effective treatment and, hell, acceptance.

Greetings, Natterinos. Wow, was I behind. I was 1000 back in the previous thread.
sarameg, fwiw, I have that same reaction and concern.

Really?
I watched about 10 minutes and became depressed, so I guessed.

I just paid for 3 years of TiVo service out of my house account. It feels like cheating, a little.
