| This is a new article from Reuters Health Information:
"Atypical Antipsychotics Increasingly Used in Children"
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/484835
[You may need to register with Medscape to read the article, but

The article begins:
"Atypical antipsychotic drugs are increasingly being prescribed for
children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and
affective disorders, investigators report. However, there is little
evidence that the benefits of treatment outweigh the risk."
