Why do so many autistic kids end up on antipsychotic medications? Sure, they might be helpful, even lifesaving at times, but aren’t they also potentially very harmful? Can’t we try something different first?
Dr. Josh Feder, Editor in Chief at the Carlat Child Psychiatry Report has been calling out Big Pharma for three decades. Drawing on his approach from his latest book, Child Medication Fact Book for Psychiatric Practice, Second Edition, you’ll learn all the steps you might try before resorting to antipsychotic medications to reduce client struggles with irritability, anxiety, aggression, depression, ADHD, and sleep.
From non-pharmacological approaches to supplements, milder medications, and, if you need them, how to monitor for the side effects of antipsychotics and reduce some of the side effects, you’ll be ready to match the interventions with the needs and values of autistic clients and their families.
