The clinical use, methods of evaluation, safety and efficacy of psychotropic drugs in children are reviewed. It is concluded that only the stimulants have a clearly established place, but that the less studied antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs almost certainly have a place too. While the rather ill-defined hyperkinetic syndrome is the condition par excellence for drug therapy, other diagnostic entities, notably unsocialized, aggressive, and overanxious reactions, Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, school phobia, and the childhood psychoses appear to be drug responsive in some cases.

AbstractAvailable data from the literature supporting the hypothesis that partial manifestations of the panic-agoraphobic spectrum may be as clinically relevant as a full-fledged syndrome were reviewed. These partial expressions of disorder may occur singly or in connection with other mental disorders. In particular, we have examined evidences indicating relationships of panic-agoraphobic spectrum with other mental disorders in childhood and adolescence and with psychotic disorders. Their importance in childhood and adolescence is significant because we believe that these symptoms influence adult behavior and are viewed, at a later time, as atypical symptoms. Panic-agoraphobic spectrum syndromes, both in their full-fledged and partial manifestations frequently co-occur with other mental disorders and are likely to be associated with significant impairment either when occurring singly, partially, or comorbidly. Several conditions typical of childhood, such as separation anxiety, school phobia, and other symptoms related to the concept of “behavioral inhibition” seem to be connected with the panic-agoraphobic spectrum and deserve attention in relation to the development of different anxiety and mood disorders in subsequent phases of the life cycle. Identification of panic-agoraphobic spectrum features is also important within the realm of psychoses where they may substantially affect phenomenology, course of illness, and treatment response.

A review of 63 cases of school refusal with anxiety seen at the Maudsley Hospital, London, England, indicates that the disorder has the following features: 1) peak incidence at age 11 or 12, 2) higher proportion of youngest children in the family, 3) presence of three separate syndromes seems indicated (with some intermixtures), namely, a) separation anxiety in the younger patients and in those whose difficulties started at a young age, b) school phobia in the older patients without previous episodes, and c) depression or withdrawal in some adolescents, 4) excellent prognosis as far as return to school is concerned, although somewhat poorer for patients of age 13 or over.
