Abstract
Studies have shown that children and adolescents with depression who are treated with antidepressants show a significant improvement in their depressive symptoms. In addition, although the FDA found that children have a higher rate of suicidal thoughts when treated with antidepressants, this article found no difference in the amount of suicidal thoughts/attempts between children treated with antidepressant medication and children treated with placebo. This indicates that the benefits of antidepressants in children outweigh the risks in most cases.
