Foster children, often being removed from neglectful or abusive
homes, are one of the country's most vulnerable populations. With
the often traumatic circumstances that define their early lives, it
is no wonder studies show their tendency for more mental health
conditions than other children. Facing these and other significant
challenges surrounding foster care programs, state authorities,
caseworkers, and parents, are given few options on appropriate
treatments. These options often include prescribing heavy-duty
psychotropic drugs such as antidepressants and, in some cases, even
antipsychotics -- drugs which have little research available
supporting their use in children. This book examines the practice
of medicating America's foster children with a focus on the
financial and societal costs.
