Psychotropic medication for leveling off young children

As per a research conducted at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center study shows the use of psychotropic prescription medications needs to treat ADHD. The mood disorders, anxiety and other mental health disorders in very young children can be leveled off through this type of mediation. This will be a great help to patients and the medical practitioners. The senior author, Tanya Froehlich, MD, a pediatrician at Cincinnati Children's explains, “The likelihood of receiving a behavioral diagnosis increased in 2006 to 2009, but this was not accompanied by an increased propensity toward psychotropic prescription. In fact, the likelihood of psychotropic use in 2006-2009 was half that of the 1994-1997 period among those with a behavioral diagnosis. Our findings underscore the need to ensure that doctors of very young children who are diagnosing ADHD, the most common diagnosis, and prescribing stimulants, the most common psychotropic medications, are using the most up-to-date and stringent diagnostic criteria and clinical practice guidelines.”
