The gist of what frontline had to say was that even the best doctors have no idea how mood & behavior drugs will effect kids long terms because the brain is still developing. In 20 years, we'll likely know that certain drugs have serious long term side effects.

I don't like the use of drugs, but there are very good parents who are dealing with serious/extreme behavior problems where the right drug is their only hope for their child to have life that doesn't require 24 hour monitoring, and that includes sleeping in the same room with the doors locked and unbreakable windows.
