When children with mental or behavioral health issues are put onto multiple psychotropic medications at the same time, there are concerns about long-term effectiveness and side effects. In this conversation, Dr. Ashleigh Anderson discusses this issue of polypharmacy and how KidsPeace works to minimize it in its residential programs, and offers some advice to parents concerned about managing the medication load on their kids.  Bob Martin hosts.
