520			_a"For years, parents and mental health experts have debated the use of medications to calm disruptive children. Many say the drugs ease the symptoms of brain dysfunctions such as attention deficit disorder and bipolar disorder. Others, however, say insurance systems that won't pay the cost of proper diagnoses and family counseling force parents to give their children potentially dangerous medications, which they may not need....Psychiatrists are prescribing them to uncounted children in office visits and during Baker Act stays in crisis centers. The drugs, in turn, sometimes cause new problems that lead to more Baker Act commitments." (TAMPA TRIBUNE) This article, part of a series on Florida's Baker Act, describes the nightmare faced by parents trying to secure help for emotionally-disturbed children.
