Are Antidepressants Safe for Children?

An FDA advisory panel recommended this week that antidepressants should come with a black-box warning on the label that they can sometimes spur suicidal behavior in children and teenagers. Larry is joined by experts to discuss how parents can weigh the risks and benefits of antidepressants for their children and teenagers. Larry's guests are: Dr. Mark Rapaport, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Cedars Sinai Medical Center and Dr. Joseph Haraszti, Medical Director of Aurora Las Encinas Psychiatric Hospital in Pasadena, and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at USC School of Medicine.
