What concerns me is the travesty of giving psychotropic drugs to children......especially very young children. The blame here is shared by the funding and by the pharmaceutical companies who are now marketing their products to younger children. SInce the adult market for Prosac was saturated, the company making the drug started targeting younger children. They didn't target them by advertising to the children, but to the pediatricians who are also at fault for prescribing them. There is alot of fault to spread around. If a child needs a drug it should be prescribed by a psychiatrist and only under monitored circumstances. In some cases there are children that do need mind altering drugs but they should be carefully monitored by an MD who is a specialist in that arena.
