title: Antidepressant treatment of juvenile depression.
abstract: Although depression is increasingly recognized in children and adolescents, these groups have responded to conventional tricyclic antidepressants less robustly than depressed adults. Emerging research suggests that juvenile depression may respond better to serotonergic and atypical pharmacologic agents, so guidelines for selection and administration of these agents are provided.
