Woo-hoo, you replied! Awesome.

Okay I don't want to monopolize your time, other people have questions, but, if you feel like it:

Follow up to 2: Do you think medication and/ or therapy have to be part of their treatment plans? Do you have any doubts about medicating kids?

Follow up to 3: Do you think, then, that the current intervention system as set up -- that is, mostly aimed at the kids themselves -- is the best design? Or do you think it would be better to redesign it to treat entire families? In an ideal world (but not TOO ideal, there's still juvenile crime in it), how would you design youth intervention treatment?

Thanks!

  • Do you think any of your patients should ever be treated (by the judicial system) as "adults" instead of as kids?

  • Do most of the kids have a diagnosed psychiatric disorder of some kind?

  • How much do you think the family of the kid has an impact on their future behaviour?

  • How did you decide to get into this line of work?

  • Do you have or want to have children?

  • What percentage of kids you see in the center do you think will eventually be "successful" (i.e. not criminals, integrate into society, etc.)?

Thanks for doing this AMA!
