Here is a case:

6 y/o child is diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder.
Parents are well educated. (Um, I know about that...)
AA child attends 99.9% non-AA school (private). The child does not regularly ask questions, answer questions, etc in class. Did I mention he was 6? Okay. The school refers the child for PSYCHIATRIC services. The parents agree and his is on ZOLOFT. Has been for 6 months.

Last school year (at a different school), the child asks his mom, "when will there be other black kids in my class?" Okay. He was 5 y/o at the time. 2D thinks...GET YOUR CHILD OUT OF THAT SCHOOL! Then, he gets in an altercation where this NON AA student bites him. The school labels this child (non-biter) as AGGRESSIVE. One school calls him AGGRESSIVE and the other school says he has SOC. ANX. Disorder.


When I learned of this, I was like ZOLOFT? Um, don't you mean ZOLOFT, JR?

Are there any PHARMACY majors out there? What are the effects on this medicine for a 6 years old CHILD?

I say the child needs a school with a great MIX of students, but that's just me.
