This chapter focuses on the use of psychopharmacology for treating psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. It is important for clinicians to be aware of the evidence base for the use of psychotropic medications in children and adolescents. In this chapter, data from the literature, with a focus on controlled studies, are presented. On the basis of these findings, clinical recommendations regarding pharmacotherapy for childhood psychiatric disorders are offered. The appendix and tables at the end of this chapter contain specific information about dosages, monitoring, and adverse effects of psychotropic medications in children.
