Pediatrician questions current standard of care of children with bipolar diagnosis.
Dr. Lawrence Diller practices behavioral/developmental pediatrics in Walnut Creek, CA. He brings to the forefront what nurses should be questioning for themselves. The Standard of Care for children with bipolar disorders has no substantiative evidence as a biological illness and the drugging with psychotropic drugs should be stopped. It’s a bad practice. It’s going to be found that we are worsening our children in the long run. Let’s don’t bring up the fact that the FDA has not approved any of these drugs for children or the fact that the parents are not given FULL INFORMED CONSENT about their side effects. Nurses should be searching their own personal ethics before giving another child or young adult psychotropic medications. Read the article from the Boston Globe and sign the petition below it.
