Week 5 Discussion
Risks, Benefits, and Diagnosis
Prior to
beginning work on this discussion, read the required chapters from the text and
review the required articles for this week.
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.
