Bench Notice

You know I did a little digging just to see how many medications are used for disruptive behavior. I included it here.

Medications For Disruptive Behavior

Quite a list. I mention in the video the delineation between organic behavior problems, those of the clinical variety, and learned behaviors. My concern isn’t whether or not someone is taking medication. I mean, I take it for high blood pressure. My concern is are they taking it for the right reasons. If I am influenced by my genetics (as I am, my whole family has or had high blood pressure) does that me that I am so determined that I shouldn’t take responsibility for my condition? You know the answer. The biggest problem that we have is self control. We don’t teach it enough, and then the child’s impulses begin to take over, and he or she become fearless. Please read this article as my parting shot.
