My writing style...

I compare my writing to the process of creating a garden. You start with very basic materials and by combining them, you create something completely different.

If you plant the seeds to early, or too late, you will miss out on the intended outcome. Writing a paper, for me, is not a quick and effortless process. I have to pick my topic, and give it amount of time to be researched. There are many different components that go into my writing process, just like tending to a garden. I tend to my papers the way a gardener tends to their flowers, with extreme attention and care.

We need all of the facts

I have yet to decide on an actual title for my paper, but I know the direction I will be taking it in.

Behavioral medications are being overused and the information given to people about them have the tendency to be slightly altered in favor of the drugs, and individuals need to have more access to not only the benefits that these medicines can produce, but also the negative data and side effects that have been tested and recorded.

1. There are longterm health effects caused by psychotropic drugs that people are not fully aware of, and while in the process of prescribing these drugs, doctors do not take into consideration.
2. Society is changing it's opinion on what is considered "normal" behaviors more and more, and because of this, there is an increase in the unnecessary prescription.
3. Parents are pressured constantly by school officials and doctors to put their children on medication, and sometimes are led to believe that it is the only solution to the current problems their children are facing.
4. Without knowing all of the facts, is it safe to use these medications on our children during important developmental years?

There are negative drug trials that are swept under the rug, and not published for everyone to see. When you see commercials for behavioral medications, the side effects are astonishing, but what are they not revealing to us?

Do we know the whole truth?

Our society has made incredible discoveries when it comes to medicine, and over the course of history we have been able to battle illnesses in many different ways. Recently, there has become an increased dependence on behavioral medications. It is hard to pinpoint the effects that it can have on a person over time, and most of the time the negative findings when researchers test a drug are not revealed to the public. Both sides of the data should be published for the public to review, so we can make an informed decision when we (or our children) come in contact with any type of medication.
