This week, Dr. Jeffrey Strawn and Dr. Norris continue their
conversation by discussing SSRIs vs. SNRIs for pediatric
patients. They also get into what to do when a pediatric
patient with anxiety requires treatment for comorbid
ADHD.
MDedge Pediatric News recently published an ID Consult by
David C. Rettew in which Dr. Rettew notes that there are
“little systemic data to guide pharmacologic decision making,”
beyond first and second-line SSRI followed by SNRI.
You can check out a child psychiatric consult on
ADHD and the role of wellness at MDedge Pediatric News. In the
consult, Dr. Allison Y. Hall, MD outlines a treatment plan, ideas
for parent training, and the role of sleep and exercise.
Also, Dr. RK discusses what she calls a basic human right -
voluntariness.
