Behavioral issues and mental illness in children has exploded over the past 20 years, and now with our changes in the home due to quarantine and COVID, parenting has become more difficult. The massive amount of uncertainty creates stress and anxiety for both parents and children. The most common solution parents are faced with is to prescribe medication.
