The Columbine shooters came from good families. This is mental illness, people.
Eric Harris showed signs of sociopathy and Klebold was very depressed. They were both on psych meds
Seriously.... psych meds have been involved in pretty much EVERY school shooting. And they are KNOWN to cause suicidal ideation and even homicidal thoughts in younger people.
What are the main psych meds that are prescribed these day? Still prozac?
Most of the time you become a guinea pig for these meds because the just prescribe stuff and then if you have side effects they give you something else
I have no idea. My 16 year old gets anxiety and depression and it took me way too long to find a proper therapist who is willing to use CBT methods and actual therapy before we talk about any psych meds.
Before this woman we see now, they spent 30 minutes with my daughter and wanted to put her on zoloft and paxil. And almost spoke DOWN to me, like I was a dumb shit mom, for wanting to try other things first.
I'm not against meds. But they should be last resort, yeah? Maybe after we see how regular therapy goes. Being a teen girl is hard already with the all hormones and puberty and all that mess. I dont agree with just feeding pills to human beings who are still in critical stages of their development. Excuse me for not wanting to disrupt my daughters brain development with pharmaceuticals. And get her in a habit of reaching for something to cope. I want her to be an active participant in her mental and emotional health.
It's never done properly, either. Like with close supervision and physicals and the medical part.
Thankfully shes doing really well without it. Some of these kids are on a host of meds and still fucking miserable. It also shocks me how frequently the doses are altered. Honestly I think unfettered access to the internet has had a very unhealthy impact on teens. It's actually trendy now to have mental disabilities and kids on are tik tok faking things like DID and Tourettes. It's really sad. We dont do tik toky shit over here lol
I'm happy your daughter is doing well Dove.
