[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 48134, member: 1498"] Don't focus on that antidepressants-aren't-good-for-kids-with-BiPolar (BP) too much. A kid doesn't have to be bipolar to react badly to an antidepressant. The reason that none of the newer antidepressants are approved for use by children and adolescents are that the clinical test conducted by the manufactures haven't shown that they are either safe or effective. Antidepressants can [i]cause[/i] a form of bipolar disorder called antidepressant induced mania/bipolar. It's not in the current DSM but it was in the one before this one and it will be in the next one. [/QUOTE]
