and if anyone thinks this stops with children, just work in the biz for a while. If you are not well enuf to fight for yourself, you need an advocate to fight for you. So sad.

The lower class children may be with parents who a little less informed about the condition and treatments.
Good way to promote the cycle of poverty though.

The richer/more famous you are, the more euphoric the script?

Personally I don't like to see children that young as three medicated their poor little brains. Maybe better parenting is the answer with emphasis on treating the parents in maybe groups for cost effectiveness. They could discuss their lives, living circumstances, and maybe receive some child raising skills. First of course. Then see what happens? Phillipa

I don't know. How do you diagnosis (accurately, that is) bipolar in a child of three?
Has anyone seen the new seroquel xr ads on the NYT front page (and all through it, actually)? The medication is referred to as an antidepressant. No slight on serqouel or any of it's uses--just a comment on a marketing 'slippage' of terminology. Would it sell as well if presented as an AP?

fb sorry just getting to this at doc's half the day but no if it was advertised that way I doubt it. But how would one know if a child of three were depressed anyway? My Son was a very quiet child but he wasn't depressed. Love Phillipa
