When my daughter was a small child we sensed that she was different from other children, but she was our first so we didn't know how different she might be.
Her first grade teacher was the person who helped us to realize that our
beautiful little six-year old child was clinically depressed. Mrs. MacIlrath
told us that six-year olds don't talk about death, our daughter's great grandmother
had recently passed on and we assumed that was why she talked incessantly
about death. With the alert sounded by Mrs.
MacIlrath and the help we received from the school psychologist we began down
a long road to find help for our daughter. Finding the appropriate treatment
was a difficult task, but ultimately we found the medications and the psychological
therapies that helped her grow to be the woman she is today. She is a vibrant,
contributing member of
society. She is starting a small business, she campaigns for candidates she
believes in, and she has been named to the President's List at her college.
Without the assistance of the school personnel, without the access to treatments,
the ending to this story would be very different. Because of Mrs. MacIlrath
and and all the people in the schools she attended, because of the new atypical
psychotropic medications, and because of the availability of psychotherapy
my daughter has endless potential and a chance for success.
I wish these thing for ALL children.
