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.

Spanking may stop the child then and there, but there’s a cost emotionally and cognitively to a child, and over the long run, it doesn’t usually lead to the child learning not to repeat the behavior that resulted in the spanking in the first place.
“Retard, Dangerous, Seizures, Speechless and Incapable of Love”, there’s more to Autism than cruel, false stereotypes. Did you know that some children diagnosed with Autism are equally capable as any other child of being verbal, bright, energetic, and just as normal as you and I? My younger brother has a mental disability called Fragile X and even though he does not have the physical characteristics most people associate with Autism and Down Syndrome, he does face challenges everyday due to stereotypes that make others believe he is incapable of doing daily tasks that we all take for granted.
