An estimated 800,000 children and adolescents
nationwide last year were prescribed antidepressants such as Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft,
according to IMS America, an industry research firm that surveys physicians. Another half
a million children, aged 6 to 12, were prescribed Tegretol and Depakote, two adult
antimanic, antiseizure drugs, the firm’s data shows. And in 1996 some 3.25 million in
that age group were prescribed drugs such as Ritalin to control hyperactivity, IMS America
says. Controversy or no, such drug use by kids in the general population is at least

have a blimp to fly over and get credit for aerial shots. But you may have guessed that.
