 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. "
