No, it's not illegal. Not right, maybe, but it is legal. They put little kids on anti-psychotics sometimes. Pdocs (well, all docs) are allowed to prescribe medicine off-label, in other words, for purposes other than what the drug has been tested for and shown to help.
Thanks for this!

I do not think you are lying. Of course not. Just that at 3 seems to young for this.

I personally do not remember myself at 3 and certainly wouldn't know what Meds if any I took. I remember myself at older age but even then I wouldn't know what I took, I had surgery at 9 and remember throwing up after and remember my mom brought me this red color juice that was tasty. I also remember pain after waking up after anesthesia. I have no clue what Meds I took if any. That's why I am wondering if those were those exact Meds.

I have very distinct memories of my third birthday and the appointment before the medication and the first time i took it my parents put it in peanut butter and it tasted awful i remember opening the box with the name of the medication every day all through primary school i am 100% sure what it was. I dont dissagree i was young i know that i also know i never wish to take medication again.

This is what I'm thinking, too. He wants to give you more help.

I think he probably noticed that you are not getting better the way he wants you to

But I don't understand how he wants me to be if that is the case most of the stuff I have been dealing with my whole life I am just very good at hiding it and I guess it has gotten a bit worse but I don't know I don't know what better means.
