Checklist: Things to Consider When Deciding About Medication.  By Liana Chandler (Bach EC, M.T & M. Ed. Sp.)

There are many factors and feelings to consider before you decide whether to go with medication for your child.  It’s a very personal choice.  Before you decide on medication for your child, ask yourself these questions.

  • Has your child been officially diagnosed with a condition like depression, anxiety or ADHD?

  • Is your child in overall good health?  Does your child have other health conditions that need to be treated first?

  • Have you tried other forms of treatment, such as behaviour therapy or individual counseling?

  • What symptoms would medication help, and would that significantly improve your child’s life?

  • Is your child on other medications that could potentially interfere with new meds?

  • Are you willing to have your child try different dosages or medications until the doctor finds one that works?

  • Will you be able to monitor your child’s medication?

  • Do you know the possible side effects of medication? Are you OK with them?

  • Are you willing to stick to treatment and not let your child take “medication vacations”?

  • Some medications can take months to start working fully.  How long are you willing to try a medication to see if it will work?
