Whenever parents bring a child in for treatment by psychoactive drugs, the family itself should be very carefully evaluated before the child is medicated. Sometimes, it will turn out that the child does need medication. More often it will turn out that the adults of the family need therapy. In fact, any time parents bring a child to a psychiatrist or psychologist, the parents should be evaluated before the child, as they are more likely than the child to be the sick ones.

Soooo true.

How many times have I had someone bring a child in to see me about "depression," "ADD" or complaints about "oppositional defiant disorder," and then as I watch the interactions and hear the stories, I shake my head inwardly...

Primum non nocere!

Well, this raises an important question:

Should mere blood relationship really be the dominant determinant in deciding who should raise a child

I know it's quite a fascist line of reasoning, but when I see super low income families with 9 filthy kids scrounging change out of the couch at the laundry mat, I truly believe that requiring a license to have children would be a huge benefit on society, for many different reasons.

I know I know, who would cook our McDonalds?
