For the past 20 years, I've been running mental health agencies. As the Executive Director of several, I did not allow psychotropic medication to be given to children. In the last agency I ran, 26 out of 30 children were medicated when I arrived. We reduced and then eliminated medication for nearly all of them. I say nearly all because I left before we were at zero. We were down to 8 after 3 years. Most important, common child management problems (runways, fights, restraints) were nearly eliminated as medication was eliminated.
I recently retired, and after a year, I'm just now starting to enjoy it. However, I'm still passionate and very active. I just completed the first chapter of a book I'm writing on this subject.
I will add more to my bio soon.

Your Kids Aren't Sick Your Kids Aren't Sick is the first in a series of articles about the misuse and abuse of psychotropic chemicals prescribed to children. YKAS begin with the premise there are no psychiatric diseases and that Psychi-Science is misleading and false. The YKAS series will provide parents with important information about the four chemicals and their physical effects, and as a primer for psychiatric consumers and their children.
