The number of children today facing with mental disorder throughout the world today grows each day. The worst thing is that these conditions affect all children and mostly go unnoticed building to very dangerous levels. Various psychiatric treatment and medication exist to treat the mental disorders that affect the minors. The initial conditions that affect most children are bipolar, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety and the attention deficit disorder (Swanson, Sergeant, Taylor, Sonuga-Barke, Jensen, & Cantwell, 1998). However, there have been many disputes concerning the use of mental curing drugs on children and adolescent (Roth, & Fonagy, 2013). Therefore, with the progressing debate on the use of psychiatric drugs on children, should there be changes to regulations of the mental health drug use on minor?

The research aims at finding out whether there are alternative diagnosis procedures for the mental disorder apart from the use of drugs. Furthermore, it is important to educate the parent of affected minors on how to handle the victims of these mental disorders. The research also looks at the various challenges the small with the mental disorder faces on a daily basis. The society role to the wellbeing of children with a mental disorder is important, and as a result, the paper focuses on their role as well (Collins, Patel, Joestl, March, Insel, Daar, & Glass, 2011).

There are twelve international bodies concerned with the research on the effects of the mental disorder on minors (Mullins, 2014). The agencies and the commissions seek to come up with better psychiatric treatment among the young. Through a series of test and observation, the various international bodies have realized that most mental disorder curing drug is stimulant to addiction, depression, insomnia and in worst cases even death (World Health Organization, 2001). The organizations, therefore, are at the forefront to find an alternative diagnosis to remedy the situation (Meade, 2006).

In conclusion, according to the available statistics and debate there, it is important to change the regulation for mental health drug to a minor. The effects of the drugs on the minor are mostly negative, and this gives rise to the need for coming up with better regulation to control this drug use. Finally, the society and families should be sensitive to the mental disorders facing the young in the community.
