Dr. Abigail Zuger, reviewed Judith Warner’s, We’ve Got Issues, for The New York Times.

“A couple of simple truths have become clear,” [Warner] writes with the passion of a new convert. “That the suffering of children with mental health issues (and their parents) is very real. That almost no parent takes the issue of psychiatric diagnosis lightly or rushes to ‘drug’ his or her child; and that responsible child psychiatrists don’t, either. And that many children’s lives are essentially saved by medication, particularly when it’s combined with evidence-based forms of therapy.”

… she remains immutable on one point: the myth of the overmedicated child is just that — an allegory but not a reality.

The review itself doesn’t have much teeth. Looks like we’ll have to read the book.
