You are aware that you have the right to refuse to put her on meds, correct?

There is a LOT of help that can be given to your daughter without putting her on drugs.

I don't understand why your daughter has to suffer because you as the mother have an inability to tell a doctor "no, I do not want my daughter on medication"

A child psychologist could do your daughter a world of good, with the "benefit" that they legally cannot prescribe your daughter drugs. If the psychologist insists that she take drugs, you find a new one. Really, its as simple as that.

I really am a bit dumbfounded that you'd believe that if a doc says your daughter needs drugs that you'd be forced to put her on drugs. We live in a free society. Doctors cannot legally force drugs on a patient unless ordered to do so by the courts. And yeah, we're a long way from that.

Please don't let your own personal fears prevent your daughter from getting help.

Thanks Goldenwaves....I guess I'm just uninformed. I will look into finding a child psychologist. The information in your post gives me hope.
