Summary: Great info on meds
Comment: Medication is one of the scariest aspects of treating childhood mental illness. This book provides a wealth of easily understood information. This is a great book that should be used in combination with other books that help parents handle the other aspects of treating their children's disorders. Two I recommend for Bipolar Disorder are "If Your Child is Bipolar" and "The Bipolar Child." The more helpful resources out there the better. These are books that should definately be on parents' shelves.

Rating: 5
Summary: An excellent source of information about medication choices
Comment: It can be overwhelming and confusing to try and figure out which drug is best for a particular child with a special condition. This book explores all sorts of psychiatric drugs for conditions ranging from Attention Deficit Disorder to depression, bipolar disorder, etc. Each section is clear and each medication is discussed fully, including possible side effects. I've often felt like doctors haven't fully answered my questions about certain medications but this book helped me to fill in the gaps and feel confident about the choices I made for my child. The best book on the subject I've found so far (and I've looked at quite a few books).

Summary: Basic help for the parent with a mentally ill child
Comment: I highly recommend this book to any parent who is contemplating putting their child on psychiatric medications. My child has been struggling on/off for the past three years with a number of issues that finally lead to an evaluation for psychiatric medication. The psychiatrist, while skilled, is unable to provide the support and education necessary to the parent to make this major decision an easier one. This book filled in the gaps. It was extremely readable and provided very helpful information regarding the various disorders and the preferred medications for treatment. While I have not yet decided to place my child on medication, this book will make the decision making process much easier.
