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
