When your told you have mental issues, should you just agree?

[Concernedgal]

I'm telling you. There are so many good things that god has put on this earth for us to use. So why do they insist that we take there chemicals? I'll never understand there logic.

I believe that in society people subject themselves to other people's judgments. In this case I'm talking about professionals.


I remember being much younger, 13 years old to be exact. In school they have examinations, and when they feel somethings is wrong, they call your parents and discuss what they think the problem is and possible solutions to help them to learn better. For me, I was told that I had A.D.H.D., and A.D.D., didn't even know you could have both at the same time. Just because someone else says you have something does that mean it's true?


It resulted in me needing to take medication that I did not want to take, some people take this to the head and let themselves believe that something is wrong with them because professionals say so. We make up all these mental issues and use them to describe someones behavior as if it's really a problem.


Young kids don't have mental issues, they are kids that want to explore, someone who says a child bad and misbehaves is one that needs medication to make them calm. I say that is a child who is normal and exploring as we would naturally do in our natural state, just because someone tries to tame you and you resist does not mean you have a mental disorder.


Should you agree with what the professionals say just because they are professionals?

Your childhood account and those 'professionals' false diagnose of you and other child victims so irritate me to this day! You were probably crying out for your parents to defend you, speak for you, guide you and encourage your creative and unique abilities as a normal intelligent active young person.

I think you are in the best place now to provide a happy and secure home for your own children.

You are very right about young children--they do not have mental issues. They are in any time in need of parental wise guidance, care, love and provision of a happy and secure home. Professional psychologists, no matter how many
licences and PhD letters they have incurred next to their names have no right to decide for our own children-- much more no right to shove drug medication on our children's throats! Ugh!

A teacher in regular school is not a psychologist or a psychiatrist. They are not professional in the field of human behavior. So your assertion that he or she is a professional is false. The have no right or claim to such an accusation or diagnoses. It like me sitting her telling you that you have cancer. What is that diagnosis based on? Nothing. The same goes for a middle school teacher. They teach secondary education and not in the medical field. I think it's silly that you even for a second took their assertion seriously.

Hi. JoshPosh

I feel really bad 2 this day. 1St let me say I just found this group on my cell & I hope I find it again 2 come back & see if u replied or anyone else.

Btw

My sons 1st grade teacher road my ass pardon my French but she went off on me during my son his nick name is Rogi while he was in her class he got up a lot I mean a lot from his seat. He would interfere with kids talk while they were trying to get their work done. She called me multiple times over & over saying he had ADHD wat a fool I was u r right she was just a teacher not a doctor. So with all these calls even after he completed that grade over the summer more calls from her acting like she just wanted 2 see him get help I felt so much pressure. I was divorced @ the time.

On my own no family friends etc. also I just got a diagnosis but the teacher didn't know of bipolar & ADHD combined type so long story short I took her word 4 it & got him 2 a doctor I didn't want him seeing a psychiatrist @ the age of fricken 7 so he could go through wat I was them finding one thing wrong after another. So I took him 2 a neurologist had his dad meet me there. I was a nervous wreck. I still 2 this day feel horrible locked inside of me 4 listening 2 that teacher & even taking him the doc said he had it but he was also going by the notes reports the assistant & the teacher wrote up. Taking their word so 2 speak.

A couple of years later I ran into a Room Mom in case u don't know they volunteer in the class a few times a week helping out with various projects grading etc. she tells me that this teacher was down right ugly mean 2 my son 4 example ok he is like in 1st grade come on he gets up out of his seat 2 put his work on her desk like she told them 2 once they were done she turns around her not knowing he is there cause he didn't raise his hand & ask if he could get up she turns around & he steps on her toe she was Westinghouse sandals. This upset me bad

She starts screaming so loud from wat this woman is telling me that multiple teachers are in the hall wondering wat was going on I heard he hid under a desk so scared of her & she taunted him saying wat would your mother think if she could see u now. Boy I just had 2 add my experience I don't regret much but that I do extremely. I believe all of that stimulant meds he was on is the reason he is dealing with anxiety issues now.

It's hard 2 forgive myself. Do not go by wat the school tells u. Also I am by far not saying all kids shouldn't b medicated for mental wellness but I truly believe that the school abuse the power they have over the parents cause they make U feel like they know your child better than U do simply cause of the amount of time they r there compared 2 home. I also suggest that if u get sum kind of input from a teacher go in prepared with your own report notes on your child's behavior & not just the teachers I was very young in the midst of dealing with my own anxieties and felt I was not thinking rationally & trusted them. Ok long enough

GREAT POINT U MADE topic lol JmaC
