From Vince:
"The growing use of screening has coincided with a rapid increase in
the number of youngsters being prescribed powerful anti-psychotic
medications such as Risperdal and Zyprexa that have not been
specifically approved for use by children. There was a fivefold
increase in the use of these drugs in children between 1993 and 2002,
according to one analysis published this month in the Archives of
General Psychiatry, and a 73 percent increase in such prescriptions
between 2001 and 2005, according to Medco, a firm that manages
pharmacy benefits. "
