Hello all. Sorry to join late. I have a son with ADHD, and the medication trials/errors have been a nightmare.

The Washington Post described Judith Warner's book, "We've Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of Medication," this way: "Nowhere did Warner encounter mothers or fathers eager to medicate healthy kids for trivial reasons. Instead, she found parents struggling to find and afford decent treatment for children disabled by their symptoms or their behavior, parents who had turned to psychiatric medicines only out of desperation -- and a society that persists in stigmatizing mental illness, blames parents when kids are affected, and has done far too little to ensure that such kids can get access to treatments that have been shown to work." Join us for an amazing conversation with Judy about kids, meds and mental health - bring your own stories and experiences for us all to talk, learn and support each other.
