The headlines for a recent study supports the effectives of SSRIs for anxious children. Great, just what we need in our already overmedicated kids:
A child psychiatrist not involved with the study told the WSJ that the effectiveness of the drug-therapy combination was “incredible.”
Therapy by itself worked well too, but that’s not what the take-home message was. Given that most will want the quick-fix, expect more pediatricians to be fielding requests for Zoloft.
