With the often traumatic circumstances that define their early lives, it is no wonder studies show their tendency for more mental health conditions than other children. Facing these and other significant challenges surrounding foster care programs, state authorities, caseworkers, and parents, are given few options on appropriate treatments. These options often include prescribing heavy-duty psychotropic drugs such as antidepressants and, in some cases, even antipsychotics - drugs which have little research available supporting their use in children. This book examines the practice of medicating America's foster children with a focus on the financial and societal costs. 410 0$aChildren's issues, laws and programs series. 606 $aPediatric pharmacology 606 $aPsychotropic drugs 606 $aFoster children$zUnited States 615 0$aPediatric pharmacology. 615 0$aPsychotropic drugs. 615 0$aFoster children 676 $a615.1083 702 $aRay$b Robert L. 702 $aWatkins$b Mackenzie A. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155023603321 996 $aMedicating foster care children with psychotropic drugs$92884891 997 $aUNINA
