Not especially. And anyway, the idea that the only treatment is medication in isolation is not the whole picture: as well as pharmacotherapy, the child and parents should also be involved in some sort of behavioural intervention. Optimal treatment isn't just pumping the child full of pills, it involves a lot more than that; however, medication definitely has a place.LadyNewshttp://www.ladynews.co.nznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-57030285596299518822011-02-08T17:31:45.730+13:002011-02-08T17:31:45.730+13:00I know you are not a fan of Bob, but inj this case...I know you are not a fan of Bob, but inj this case he does know what he is talking about. There have been plenty of studies conducted by specialist paediatricians and psychiatrists as to the over-prescription drugs as a way of controlling children's behaviour. There is genuine concern that a pharmaceutical option is the first option rather than the fallback if all non-chemical options do not work. Isn't it a concern when the only option we can think of is medication?Michael Wyndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265843761031363440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-81670982130749165732011-02-08T13:46:54.157+13:002011-02-08T13:46:54.157+13:00agree. as i say, surprisingly PC for an "unPC...agree. as i say, surprisingly PC for an "unPC" show.<br /><br />but who takes anything they see on TV as gospel?<br /><br />commies, that's who.che tibbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-13494644607196353232011-02-08T09:43:49.966+13:002011-02-08T09:43:49.966+13:00"hmmm... latta isn't actually all that ba..."hmmm... latta isn't actually all that bad.<br /><br />his first show had some pretty good sensible stuff in it."<br /><br />Yes, but the whole thing was sold as if somehow we have all been cowed into cotton-wool parenting by a shadowy, unspecified...Them!

He seemed very good at informing a naive NZ public about spotting a pedophile and preventing certain types of random abuse i.e. (like never leaving your younger child with a teenage son &/or his friends to babysit) ... he said (from his experience of working with STOP) that this is the age where experimenting (that way), coupled with little empathy, peer pressure, porn and risk taking leads to little ones being abused.<br /><br />He might need to get back to that kind of educating and regain some credibility.

Oh, you've worked with kids? You're clearly an expert on behavioural problems in children and ADHD. Fuck medical training and research: I had a conversation with a child once, surely that's more relevant. The cries of "over-medication!" always get to me personally because I work with people doing research with ADHD and as part of that I see how many people have to assess and re-assess children before a diagnosis is given, and I also see the numbers of children who are referred to our clinic and end up being told that actually their behaviour doesn't warrant pharmacotherapy (because it isn't ADHD). So if Bob wants to argue that parents/doctors don't know what typical child behaviour is and are medicating unneccesarily, maybe I could let him in on the numbers of children being referred for typical childlike behaviour who don't end up being stuffed full of drugs as he seems to imagine.LadyNewshttp://www.ladynews.co.nznoreply@blogger.com
