Our psychopharmacology medication clinic has become almost like the crisis triage point in Toronto because when everybody throws up their hands, they say maybe medication is the answer.
As we try to move ahead in our genetic research and clinical trials to look at some medications that may be more helpful, the majority of the time we don't have a medication that can make a huge difference in a crisis. It's usually the hyperactive children with autism who have had negative results with many of the medications that we use. They end up in crisis and many of them are the ones that end up in some kind of residential care. It's almost impossible to get residential care let alone short-term hospitalization in most areas.
