Medicating Children

This chapter describes electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) that stabilized Jonah's rapid-cycling bipolar disorder in 2010 after exhaustive medication trials, elaborate behavior plans, and a ten-month hospitalization failed. It details how Jonah experiences mild episodes of agitation with no obvious environmental triggers toward the end of the treatment interval. It also analyses the term “baseline,” which refers to an original, predisease state. The chapter describes Jonah's treatments that were therapeutic to the extent they restored optimal, baseline functioning. It discusses opponents of medicating children that are fierce and pervasive, such as in books with ominous titles like The Silenced Child and Suffer the Children, and certain articles featured on well-respected platforms.

In Reply.— The AAP Committee on Children With Disabilities concurs with several of the issues raised by Dr Wiener. We note the need for counseling for children with ADHD and clearly support referrals to child psychiatrists when these children need psychiatric help. We also agree that working with the family represents a major component of the treatment of children with ADHD. The selection of drugs such as methylphenidate over antidepressants represents our attempt to focus treatment on the use of this drug for ADHD itself.

The present study aims to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of parents regarding self-medication in dental problems of their children during to COVID-19 pandemic in Northern Turkey.

A total of 389 parents who agreed to participate in the study completed the questionnaire for three months. A structured questionnaire with 18 items was designed to collect information on the parents’ knowledge and attitudes regarding when, why, and how to use drugs and on their practices medicating children. Results: The majority of parents (n = 273; 70.2%) were practiced self-medication to their children's dental problems. Self-medication with a previous medication was usually preferred to their children by parents (n = 179; 62.2%). It was observed the analgesics practiced by parents (98%) were the most commonly used self-medication for their children's dental problems.Conclusion: New healthcare systems like tele-dentistry may be useful to overcome self-medication problems directed to children in unusual times that limit to reach healthcare providers such as pandemics.

To the Editor.— I read the position statement by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Committees on Children With Disabilities and Drugs (Pediatrics 1987;80:758-760) regarding medication for children with attention deficit disorder. It is encouraging that the American Academy of Pediatrics has undertaken to bring this information to its membership; it is disappointing that, in discussing evaluation and treatment, there was no acknowledgment of any role for the child psychiatrist, even though the vast majority of research into diagnosis and treatment has been done by child psychiatrists and published in the psychiatric literature.
