In this paper I will also give my opinion on the subject. The controversy of medicating children with ADHD and EBD has recently increased. It has increased due to the fact that more and more children are being diagnosed with these disorders. ADHD and EBD can be hard to diagnose, it takes a lot of documentation. (Rosenberg, Westling, & McLeskey,2007).

Depressive disorders, which include major depressive disorder (unipolar depression), dysthymic disorder (chronic, mild depression), and bipolar disorder (manic-depression), can have far reaching effects on the functioning and adjustment of young people. Among both children and adolescents, depressive disorders confer an increased risk for illness and interpersonal and psychosocial difficulties that persist long after the depressive episode is resolved; in adolescents there is also an increased risk for substance abuse and suicidal behavior 1,2,3. Unfortunately, these disorders often go unrecognized by families and physicians alike. Signs of depressive disorders in young people often are viewed as normal mood swings typical of a particular developmental

When involving the retina it causes diabetic retinopathy, and when affecting the kidney causes diabetic nephropathy (Gardner and Shoback, 2007). Microvascular disease can also involve the heart, and heart failure has occurred in some diabetic patients (Gardner and Shoback, 2007). DRUGS[1]: METFORMIN (1g, TDS) Class: Antidiabetic agent Action:
Medication Error: The Error Administration of Phytonadione Nhu L. Vicente El Camino College Medication Error: The Error Administration of Phytonadione Medication error is a problematic event in all healthcare facility. Many scholars have conducted researches to rule out the cause of, and find the solution for, medication error. In their study of neonatal medication error, Sauberan, Dean, Fiedelak, and Abraham (2010) found that the major reason of medication error in their neonatal intensive care units is the mixing up between “look-alike” adult and neonatal strengths (p. 49). In their first case study, the adult strength of Phytonadione (also known as vitamin K1) is incorrectly administered into the neonate at three hours of life. Although the infant is finally discharged in good condition, the mistake is a hard lesson for all healthcare workers.
The psychotropic medications have often not been tested thoroughly on children or approved by the FDA for children’s use. Some of the medications that have obtained FDA approval have questionable reliability because their primary funding source for the research was pharmaceutical companies or their affiliates. Because of these and many other reasons, there is a social dilemma in our society over whether or not to medicate children for their problem behaviors or due to a mental health diagnosis. Using the Six-Step Policy Anaylsis Framework (Jansson, 2008), this paper will explore the available research on the effects of medications on children. The research and other available resources will be examined to see how current research findings and practice, and future research topics may be used to develop new policy on prescribing psychotropic medications to children.
The causes of ADHD with respect to neurological, hereditary and environmental factors will be reviewed. Medical intervention and in particular the psychostimulant ritalin, their use, effectiveness, side effects in the short and long term will be scrutinised. Various self management techniques and their effectiveness will be put forward. Lastly and perhaps most importantly we will look at the different approaches that teachers can try to implement in managing a class where there is a pupil or pupils who have the symptoms of ADHD. What is ADHD Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is the condition that is commonly known as ADHD.
Moreover, there are some factors that contribute to children's accessibility to medicine such as improper medicine storage. Furthermore, unsuitable storage or storing of medicine near children's reach causes medical poisoning among children also another issue of medical poisoning (o'connor 2001). Another reason that make children at risk of medical poisoning is that they are still in progress of brain development
Each substance can cause severe and permanent damage to children before and even after birth. Researchers have found that these substances can cause low birth weight, premature delivery, fetal alcohol syndrome, mental retardation, learning disabilities, stillbirth, miscarriages, and under developed limbs. Many babies born to mothers that have abused alcohol and drugs while pregnant are born addicted to the substance and go through withdrawal symptoms after being born. Some women are able to quit using these substances when becoming pregnant but many women are not and need professional help to quit. Pregnant women face many barriers when trying to get help for their substance abuse problems.
