“Interesting and useful….Although it is directed to parents, it will help experienced practitioners to review their own attitudes and strategies when advising parents about the possible use of medication for their children. It will help residents and newly graduated child psychiatrists understand the intricacies and obstacles that can impede a seemingly straightforward and evidence-based recommendation for medication.”--Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Product Description
In this popular resource, Dr. Timothy Wilens provides essential guidance for parents facing tough choices about whether or not to give a child medication for emotional or behavioral problems. Packed with frequently asked questions, examples, and charts, the book explains which medications are prescribed for kids and why; their effects on health, emotions, and school performance; how to maximize the benefits; and when to consider other treatments instead. A special 2005 supplement advises parents on the issues surrounding the FDA "black box" warning on SSRIs for depression in children and teenagers.
