Developed by experts at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago, this collection of medication information handouts covers today's most effective medications for pediatric behavioral and emotional disorders, including anticonvulsants, stimulants, antianxiety medications, and SSRIs. These practical handouts reinforce clinical counseling during office visits. In addition, they serve as authoritative references for families, with answers to critical questions that arise between visits. Separate versions for parents, youths, and teachers outline the most essential information for each group, promoting cooperation and understanding between the young patient and adult caregivers. The handouts are provided in print and electronic versions for maximum flexibility. The printed versions can be photocopied for immediate use. The CD-ROM includes a PDF file for each handout that can be printed as needed. The second edition has been extensively revised and updated with new information gleaned from the scientific literature and the contributors' experiences in clinical practice. All clinicians who treat young patients-psychiatrists, pediatricians, neurologists, and others-will rely on this resource to promote understanding, enhance compliance, and improve outcomes.
