Duty to Warn? Debating Antidepressant Suicidality

October 30, 2020
Martha J. Ignaszewski, MD and Glen Spielmans, PhD
For 16 years, since the FDA black box warning about suicidality with antidepressants, our community has been quoting data that downplays this concern. We were wrong. We were deceived. Antidepressants can be lifesaving, but there really is a duty to warn. Drs. Martha Ignazewski and Glen Speilmans talk with us about what went on and how to talk about it with our families. Read More

What Do We Do About Dyslexia?

October 30, 2020
Fagie Mandel, M.Ed.

October 30, 2020
Kristen Gardner, PharmD.
We worry that oral contraceptives impact mood, particularly in adolescents who are prone to depression and other mood disorders. This research review on the Dutch TRAILS (Tracking Adolescents’ Individual Lives Survey) helps balance our decision making so that we avoid either extreme of universally counseling against their use nor dismissing the possible impact of OCs on mood. Read More

Kristen Gardner, PharmD.
There are many fairly benign interventions that are tried in child and adolescent mental health, and a large number are specifically aimed at treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). One such treatment is the use of vitamin D. But is it helpful, and if so, what dosages are safe to use? This article uses current research to address these questions. Read More

October 30, 2020
Pavan Madan, MD.
When we choose medications, we typically think that we are paying attention to risks and benefits. But what happens when we just look through the lens of side effects? An entirely different picture emerges of what medications might be the better picks. You will be surprised and intrigued by this review of a very helpful study that will probably change your prescribing patterns. Read More
