A member asked:
To what extent can anti-depressants for children be considered safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: There are very few anti-depressant drugs which are approved for use in children and teenagers, but they can be very effective when used properly. Most doctors will increase the dose gradually and monitor a child closely to see how they are tolerating the medication. Used correctly, they can be safe and effective.
