Review of the prescription of antipsychotics in children

Review of the prescription of antipsychotics in children. In France, as in the rest of the world, prescribing of antipsychotic drugs increases in children and adolescentsIndeed, antipsychotics are frequently prescribed in children and adolescents for both psychotic and non-psychotic disorders, with 36 to 93%o fprescriptionsbeingoff-label in this population. In addition, a high number of adverse events have been reported in the literature under antipsychotic treatment. The consequences of these adverse events are still poorly documented. In France, a 12-months national prospective study (ETAPE) observed a high incidence rate, severity and persistence of adverse events during first-time antipsychotic treatment in pediatric patients. Therefore, a careful and continuous clinical and biological monitoring all over the treatment period is required to adapt treatment decisions based on benefice-risk-analysis.
