Drugs for Adults May Not be Good for Children

There are has been a dramatic increase in the amount of psychiatric drugs prescribed to children over the years. Some say this is great because different disorders are becoming treatable and being treated earlier before the illnesses cause even more severe problems in adult life. But there are some problems to these prescriptions. The medications were tested on adults for harmful effects, but the effects they will have on children are unknown. These medications alter the chemicals in the brain, but the child's brain is not completely developed, so the longterm effects are unknown.
