Pediatrician issues

What gets me is the questions are so generic

Like are you not getting enough sleep? (Or something to that effect)

Kid said no. They move on to the next question

Kid was up gaming and talking to friends -- so if they bothered asking why? It would be clear that it was a choice - not because they're depressed

They ask questions that have other logical answers that they don't bother to find out about. Then it's a straight -- they need counseling and anxiety medication.

I have no problem with either -- if that's what a person needs -- but it felt like they were pushing it without actually understanding that kids don't get sleep because they stay up late sometimes

They asked if they had trouble completing tasks? Yes - and they stop right there. It's yes, because they can't breathe correctly
