thanks nandm...i haven't read much on children or teenagers on anti-ds, so possibly why i haven't ever heard of anything like that. Even so, i agree with your questioning of the circumstances. Also, possibly for teenagers...just the thought of them needing pills for mental health issues, may provide enough stigma-related anxieties that some may think it better off not here than to have to live life only being happy on pills???? don't know...just trying to put my thoughts in there shoes for a moment. children and teens are so delicate...they really are. it's a good point you've made. thanks
