  • Title: Treatment of schizophrenia in childhood and adolescence.
    Author: Clark AF, Lewis SW.
    Journal: J Child Psychol Psychiatry; 1998 Nov; 39(8):1071-81. PubMed ID: 9844978.
    Abstract:
    This paper reviews the management of schizophrenia occurring during childhood and adolescence. It considers the clinical features of the disorder particular to its early onset before providing a practical framework for assessment and treatment based upon a critical review of the available literature. A multi-modal approach to treatment encompassing the individual and their family is adopted with the roles of pharmacological, psychological, and environmental interventions all considered. The place of the newer "atypical" antipsychotic agents and the likelihood that they will soon become the first-line drugs of choice is particularly discussed.
