Episode Details:

Ten years ago, stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall were the drugs of choice to treat children's behavioral issues. Today, anti-psychotic medications that can cause serious side effects are increasingly prescribed as more and more kids are diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Six million children now take psychiatric drugs, yet most have never been tested on children and virtually nothing is known about their long-term effect. With the debate of overmedicating children growing, Frontline asks if this trend is good medicine or an uncontrolled experiment? Includes a Parent's Guide.
