NAMI Joins Group Launching Resources
for Families On Treating Depression in Children and Adolescents
ParentsMedGuide.org
includes a fact sheet for families titled "The Use of
Medication in Treating Childhood and Adolescent Depression:
Information for Patients and Families." The fact sheet,
developed by the APA and AACAP in consultation with NAMI and other
family advocacy groups, includes practical advice for families
about treating depression in children and adolescents. It
also includes information about the recent FDA decision to require
a black box warning for antidepressant medications.
The ParentsMedGuide.org
web site also includes a guide for physicians on treating
depression in children and adolescents, including information on
treatment
alternatives and the latest science and research findings.
NAMI is developing a Family Guide for the Treatment of Adolescent
Depression, which is currently being edited and will be available
in the near future.
You can learn more about the APA and AACAP resource center by
visiting the ParentsMedGuide.org
web site.
