> its ridiculous. When thorazine and the other phenothiazines first hit the scene in the 50s, there were studies on using them in "hyperkinetic" (ADD, ODD, generally diffiult kids). Now, we've come full circle--perhaps in 20 years shrinks will own up to how potentially damaging these medications can be to anyone, especially young people.

Nice to see you again.

I think these drugs have a place in treating certain pediatric conditions. I'm sure that they are overprescribed, though. There ought to be a coherent set of guidelines or a consensus as to when their use is appropriate.
