Children and psychiatric diagnoses

And how many adults would be more productive had their psychiatric illness been diagnosis in childhood? How many children suffer today because their parents have undiagnosed disorders? We only hear about these things after a major tragedy like a child's abuse ending in death, a suicide or  mass shootings . For every one of these tragedies, there are children suffering that will never make headlines. That said, some children would benefit more from a lovingly administered spanking than all the Adderal in the world. Kids drugged into oblivion are certainly easier to parent. In conclusion, we must always be mindful of those whose circumstances we can't really relate to. And those of us who can relate to specific stuggles such as mental disorders, addictions, children with behavior problems, hoarding tendencies, wherever, can be such a blessing to others who are going through these things as well by bring honest in our struggles. Be blessed.
