Parents and caregivers are not being informed of the FDA’s documented risks of the psychotropic (mind-altering) drugs and painkillers (opioids) being prescribed to children.
As a licensed clinical psychologist and forensic expert in medication outcome studies, I am often asked to testify about the short and long-term use of psychiatric medications. Unfortunately, parents have not been fully informed about the potential dangers of these powerful mind-altering drugs.

Suicidal and violent thoughts, dangerous and violent behaviors, increasing dependence and anxiety, agitation, and disorganization have all become too common in many of these cases.
As I see more and more cases of children being given psychiatric medications, I see more and more severe adverse effects happening with these medications.
This is why I continually refer parents, doctors, and teachers to the new free Parent’s Guidebook.
This important easy-to-read booklet and website provide the information every parent needs to make an informed choice on how to treat their children, and how to protect their children from the all too often harms of using such medication. It is unfortunate that in many cases, the treating doctor mistakes the negative side effects as signs of a child’s increasing “mental” disorder.

The Parent’s Guidebook, and the corresponding FDA Medication Guides, help parents and doctors identify the all too common worsening conditions that are caused by the very medication trying to help reduce unwanted behavior, thoughts, and/or feelings. The Know More About Drugs Alliance Guidebook and website are easy to read, and it links the factual data right from the FDA’s website.
