Even though I have taken anti-anxiety medication for many years I have to agree that children/teens using such medication when there are already warning signs that it causes suicidal depression in them is absolute insanity. I was fortunate that I grew up in a time when medication was not used to subdue children.
I am a person who as an adult benefited immensely from the medication I take. Without it I would not have been able to live a normal life. But I believe a case such as my own is actually uncommon and rare. The number of adults with truly debilitating depression or anxiety is nowhere near as high as the number of people who are on such medications. What happened to cognitive behavioral therapy? Everyone just wants to feel better - well to that I say yoga. Meditation. Or jeez. just have a good cup of tea and listen to some Mozart.

Negative emotions are not your enemy: fear of them is. Learn to accept and embrace your negative emotions and the messages they are trying to tell you.
