Medications for Childhood PTSD: It’s All Off-Label

May 1, 2015

Elizabeth Tien, MD

Elizabeth Tien, MD. Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist with Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Dr. Tien has declared that she has no relevant financial or other interest in any commercial companies pertaining to this activity.

In 2011, we wrote a review of medications for PTSD in children and found, unfortunately, that data to inform true evidence-based practice was scant. There are still no psychotropic medications that have been proven effective in randomized controlled trials for children with PTSD and there are no FDA approved medications for this population.
