Often I will see children under stress where the stress has got to a point where it is pervasive in some other area of their life or several areas of their life. And that's when these children need professional treatment. The family need to figure out how medication can fit in with the other things they need to do in their life. Often there is a need for professional medical treatment for children under stress because the stress has manifested itself into negative physical symptoms. The stress can cause a faster heartbeat or inability to fall asleep at night. There are problems we have to address and we may need to use some medicine until we get these other issues resolved. That will then resolve the sleeping issue or the eating issue or the heart palpitating issue.
