Annotated Bib. (Gualtieri)

Gualtieri, C. Thomas. Johnson, Lyn G. (2006). Antidepressant Side Effects in Children and Adolescents. Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, 16(1-2), 147-57. Retrieved February 25, 2008, from Research Library database. (Document ID: 1035333831).

Data is presented from a neuropsychiatry clinic where 128 patients were treated with modern antidepressants for a period of 14 months. In the study, Gualtieri found that suicidal thoughts and behaviors was not an uncommon side effect for the patients to have. This is a good argument for the side that says that the drugs are bad for teenager patients. (11 pages)
