[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 245619, member: 2423"] Steely, I was responding to your statement that research says that SSRIs are not OK for children. That is simply not true. And I cited the NIMH research above. Prozac is the only SSRI that is FDA-approved for depression in children. Prozac, Zoloft and Luvox are the only SSRIs that are FDA-approved for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children. But you and I both know that many of the children on this board take medications that are not FDA-approved for mood disorders in children, including mood stabilizers and atypical antipsychotics. And the medications our kids take have significant side-effect profiles that rival or surpass those of SSRIs. Believe me, I'm not an SSRI fan. I have three children who had bad reactions to SSRIs. But I also know lots and lots of kids who have straight anxiety and straight depression and have benefited greatly from taking SSRIs. [/QUOTE]
