Getting a right diagnosis for childhood mental health problems is usually difficult and takes time even for an experienced Psychiatrist. In case there are Problems with drugs, discuss with your treating Psychiatrist. There must have been some indication seen by the prescribing doctor, and you should discuss with him in case of any doubt.
