Description

Medications are perceived as safe solutions, especially for various mental health conditions. Usually, when parents discover that their kids are struggling with their mental health, their primary solution is to have their kids take medications. 

Like two sides of a coin, medications both have its pros and cons. The cons, however, are not entirely acknowledged or made known to patients and parents. 

Research studies show that 100% of the time, your child will have a side effect from medications. These side effects are usually shown through your child’s irritability, sleep problems, and restricted eating. 

So, despite many stimulants and psychostimulants, the brain is not going to work in its optimal condition. Thus, there’s a need to open that up for discussion and help you understand the reasons and repercussions why you shouldn’t medicate your child with ADHD, anxiety, or other mental health conditions.
