Children and Psychotropic Drugs

Psychostimulants, antidepressants and psychotropic drugs in general should have little to do with children.
Yet, children are today familiarizing with them.
With Ritalin and Prozac above all.
Increasingly, in fact, even in Italy, the “Pill for restless children” and the “Happy pill” are prescribed to difficult pupils, to problematic children, and to children with Attention Deficit Disorder.
And if the American data are not reached (13 million children who use psychotropic drugs), however even the European trend is worrying.
Now a new research of the Copenhagen University reiterates that psychiatric drugs can have severe side effects in children and adolescents.
In the under 17 population, in a sample of 4,500 cases, nearly 1 in 10 adverse pharmacological events is connected with psychotropic drugs.
And the adverse effects connected with the recruitment of stimulant drugs by pregnant women are 50% of cases fetal abnormalities and withdrawal syndrome by drugs at birth.
Without denying the goodness of psychotropic drugs in the treatment of certain diseases, the Italy Family Hotels invite doctors to be more cautious when prescribing them to children, and in any case to try first the alternative therapies.
That perhaps are less rapid, but certainly also less dangerous, and that will equally bring a smile on the faces of children.
