Hi Coach Ilg.

Your DL of today is a must-read!

Today’s posting reminded me of

something I heard on the radio recently–but thought I

must have misheard. So I went to the source. The shit

is real. Check it out:

An article in the Journal of the American Medical

Association cites a report that in 1994, 3000

prescriptions for fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac)

were written for children aged younger than one year.�

The data source cited in JAMA is: Grinfeld MJ.

Psychoactive medications and kids: new initiatives

launched. Psychiatric Times. 1998;15:69.

The JAMA article source info. follows:

2000;283:1025-1030. Trends in the Prescribing of

Psychotropic Medications to Preschoolers. Julie Magno

Zito, PhD; Daniel J. Safer, MD; Susan dosReis, PhD;

James F. Gardner, ScM; Myde Boles, PhD; Frances Lynch,

PhD.

Your humble Student, Doreen
