Depression In Children Difficult From Treat

Depression is common among children and adolescents and treatment may be insecure, since there is little certainty accredited to guide the use of antidepressants, according to a new study. A recent history on the increase in suicidal behavior among children taking antidepressants such as Paxil, Prozac and Zoloft have increased doubts on its use in children.

Experts indicate that the benefits of these medications outweigh the risks when patients are adequately monitored. It is estimated that 2% of children aged 5 to 13 years, and 3 to 6% of adolescents suffer from major depression disorders.

Depression is common in children and cause many difficulties which last for quite some time, this condition should be treated as soon as possible. Unfortunately there is a gap of knowledge regarding the treatment of child depression and what is known about the treatment of depression in adults.

This is due to that there are few studies on depression in children, although the psychotherapeutic procedures relieving function, although you can not set its operation, compared with medicines, these results can be used as a basis for knowledge that is used first.

Studies that were on the use of antidepressants also showed complex results. The problem is that there is no adequate studies indicate the results of the operation of medicines in children, also not determined if these drugs make children become suicidal.

Children suffering from severe depression disease can benefit from antidepressant medications, but children who employ these drugs require careful escort. The use of drugs has its risks, but higher does not manage them.
