We went to a child psychiatrist who diagnosed her with nonspecific mood disorder and prescribed
Trileptal. I was concerned about giving her the meds
and decided to go the route of counseling. At this point, I am thinking of trying the meds. I am concerned about side effects and how children do on this medication. Does anyone have experience with this drug in children? I am also wondering if she really needs it. Is this a life stress situation or an actual mood disorder. Concerned.
