What is the most frightening about all this talk on depression drugs, beside a lot of Adults are taking these pills too!! We don't know how its going to effect our children, because we put them on it to help make their life's better for them and us.. So if these pills are effecting them in a negative way we sometimes never know. Unless they do something to make us see. Usually by this time its really bad or to late!! The hardest part as a parent myself, is what if its was to late? Scares me because I have children with mental-health Problems, the Doctors are always changing their Meds. For one reason or another at times, I feel what good are these pills? Then remember, life was hell before they went on them,. Now their zombies or just a bit better... But not much. As a parent you get to the point of wanting to just taking them off all Pills. Because you feel guilty making your child take a pill for the rest of their life. I told a Doctor this once, still feel this way and wonder why I even make my children take pills.. But I keep giving them those *Damn pills * Hoping.....
