That BrainMatters thing.. my god what a scam.. That little kid at the end.. I think he was taking like 3-4mg of risperidone to "calm him down" PRN like omg he couldn't even move. At the end I think he was holding a pill bottle or something and said "Look this feels heavy"..

The household was always hell for me going to school in the morning. It was just fighting and then off to school and it's good. I wasn't given Xanax o.0
Yeah what's disturbing is this was 6 years ago and the same stuff is still going on today, kids aren't allowed to make their own medical decisions and teachers seem to push for sedation...so it continues. I do think the girl with the very evident bipolar seems better off but other than that ..

Yeah the brain matters thing...I can't believe a social worker is selling that and people are desperate to believe....I have no idea how that's legal...
