Parents are brought into the educator's office. They receive the call:
“We need to talk to you about your child.”
With fear and trepidation, you sit in a little teeny-tiny chair that doesn’t affect you at all, and the teacher informs you that your child has ADHD.
Amazingly, they open up their drawer that just happens to have business cards where you can go to “professionals,” and “experts,” and “doctors,” so that you can get your child a prescription for an SSRI.
What do you do?
Maybe the teacher is boring? Lol!
No that's not right, the boy obviously needs a pill and a label. I remember when I was a kid my mom would tell us to go outside and play.
That DSM IV is a dangerous book. I have the Dsm III around here somewhere and I wont read it any more. You can walk away from reading that book without feeling like hey that sounds like me at some point. According to the DSM the entire country has a disorder of some sort. You havent been diagnosed yet? Which hand do you use to wipe in the bathroom? Left? Oh you need a pill! what if I said my right? Oh that's a different pill. Lol!
I'm epileptic and get my anti-seizure meds at the doctor. One time when getting a new prescription from them they also gave me an extra prescription without one word ever said about it. Gaba Pentin or something like that. I looked it up and it said they're anti depressants so I threw it away. I'm not depressed and they always always ask me if I am depressed. I always tell them the same thing. The Lord takes good care of me and I am retired from my secular job, so what do I have to be depressed about?! Last time I was there and she asked me again if I've been depressed and I said, don't you ever write anything down?
It's like they want me to be depressed. Chomping at the bit to get me on pills for it, lol! That strikes me as underhanded, even if there is nothing except pure greed driving it. If I started taking anti depressants then that in itself is evidence of depression per se. so then what? One day they say, anyone who has ever been on anti depressants or psyche drugs is no longer allowed to own weapons? she asked me once if I need the gabapentin refilled! Like she owns me! I said oh I never took any of those I pitched the scrip out, lol. they can keep their drugs. I find myself more skeptical of all new prescriptions, new products and so forth than I have ever been before.
You Brothers & Sisters should be careful and look up any new prescriptions they give you and be very sure what it is before you take it in this day & age.
