more and more kids on anxiolytics and antidepressants
I am completely against isolating kids and preventing social interactions. Before I was a teacher, I worked in psychiatric medicine. Kids on lockdown are definitely suffering unnecessarily with depression and and anxiety but they’re not getting put on all those meds.

Kids under 18 aren’t usually getting on antidepressants. There’s a huge black warning label on them for this so doctors aren’t really prescribing them for kids. Most kids with language development issues aren’t happening at 4 years old. It’s an intellectual development issue that happens around a 2.

The recurring theme since COVID became a threat, is that parents have few choices, and public school administrators have absolutely made that situation worse by refusing to teach or work in person. Anyone whose children were enrolled in public schools, should have been given educational vouchers so the parents could have chosen educational opportunities that work for their families. Of course, I think all parents should have school choice, through funding for low-income families.

I have to respectfully disagree. I think you are incorrect about language development and the antidepressants.

If language development happened and was solidified at age 2, why are 6 years olds in speech therapy? Language development is way beyond just speech as well. I’m talking reading, enunciation, context, etc. things all made more difficult with a mask.

In terms of the antidepressants, pediatricians have personally told me they’re having to write them and at a very high rate. Maybe there is a black box warning, but it’s happening. Maybe they shouldn’t be, but I dunno. It’s happening.

I don’t come on here and spew nonsense. If people want nonsense, they can read it elsewhere. The fact of the matter is that masking is not useful for the kids and is detrimental
