Benefits, and Diagnosis |

The risk-benefit calculation for any drug assumes a
correct diagnosis of the disorder. Many investigators and clinicians feel the
current epidemic of child psychiatric disorders is largely due to inappropriate
diagnosis. Evaluate the risk and benefits of using psychoactive drugs in
children correctly diagnosed with a disorder versus those incorrectly diagnosed
with a disorder. Consider the risks and benefits of not treating (drug
treatment) a child because he or she is not correctly diagnosed with a
disorder. In your evaluation summarize the natural course of the
disorder, the drug action on the neurotransmitter systems in question, and the
likelihood of short-term, long-term, and permanent positive and negative
effects of drug treatment. Make sure to take into account the ethical dimension
of this risk-benefit calculation.
