On the other hand, the chemicals may help the child's brain develop normally. Modern imaging techniques show that people with mental illness do not have normal brains. Pdocs used to believe that children could not suffer from depression or bipolar disorder; now we know that's not true, so why withhold treatment on the basis of age?Ilene
