Parents of a Child with Mental Illness Share Their Story

Since he was 8 years old, Andrew Blalock has battled mental illness, spending 10 years in and out of hospitals. His parents open up about their struggle.

"Battled" mental illness. You got to love that word "battled".

This was ABC's Katie Couric: "When Your Child Is Mentally Ill"

First he couldn't sit still ... ADHD drugs I am sure, then rages , depressions (ADHD drug side effects) then likely more psychiatric drugs...

Common side effects of Ritalin include nervousness, agitation, anxiety, insomnia, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, palpitations, headache, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and psychosis.

Alot of people who have survived psychiatric drugging read this forum, what do you think of this video ?

I know I wouldn't want my parents putting my face on national T.V as the mental illness poster boy.

i can't believe that they didn't get andrew on there to speak for himself. it seems so odd to talk about someone on a tv show and not have them there...

i don't think that they tried to intentionally demonize him, though.

although i do wonder if possibly taking so many drugs while his brain was developing might have caused some of this stuff.... >.>

Notice how when the parents say they were worried he would hurt himself the interviewer then interrupts and says "Or hurt others"....

As in we don't give a crap if a crazy kid hurts himself, we just don't want him to harm a "normal" person in society.

How could we find this kid and get his side of the story ?

This video is a rare chance to hear what kids have to say about psychiatric drugging http://youtu.be/8W8SHEe5y-o?t=1m36s
