[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 394983, member: 2423"] Here's a link to some information on the National Institute of Mental Health website on antidepressant medication for children and adolescents suffering from depression: [url]http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/child-and-adolescent-mental-health/antidepressant-medications-for-children-and-adolescents-information-for-parents-and-caregivers.shtml[/url] The only SSRI that is FDA-approved for the treatment of depression in children is Prozac. All SSRIs carry a "black box" warning indicating that the use of SSRIs may increase the risk of suicidal thinking or behavior in some children and adolescents with depression.
