Abstract

While the selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the first line treatment for juvenile depression and anxiety disorders, other novel antidepressants not chemically related to the SSRIs have also been prescribed to children and adolescents for unlabeled (non-FDA-approved) indications. These medications include bupropion, (Wellbutrin™), duloxetine Hydrochloride (Cymbalta™), mirtazapine (Remeron ™), trazodone (Desyrel™), venlafaxine (Effexor ™) and desvenlafaxine (Pristiq™). Their psychopharmacological profile and relevant pediatric studies are summarized in this chapter. Alternative or complimentary treatments (e.g. St. John's Wort, Omega-3 fatty acids, thyroid hormones, and S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAMe)) are also reviewed.
