“Doctor, if this were your child, would you prescribe medication?”
In this episode, I talk about my approach to one of the most important decisions families face. Rather than viewing medication as inherently good or bad, I explain why every treatment decision comes down to weighing risks, benefits, and how much a child’s symptoms are interfering with their ability to function and thrive.
I discuss the role of therapy, parenting, lifestyle changes, and medication, why psychiatric medications can be both life-changing and life-saving when used appropriately, and why they should never distract from the larger goal of helping children grow into healthy, capable, independent adults.
Whether you’re considering medication for your child or simply want to better understand how an experienced child psychiatrist thinks through these decisions, this episode offers a thoughtful framework for approaching one of parenting’s most challenging questions.
