Childhood is an important stage of growth and development for everyone, during which psycho-spiritual development is not only quantitative but also qualitative, from simple to complex, low to high, imperfect to perfect. The assessment of psychological development and mental status requires not only a professional psychiatrist, but also more observation, care and feeding by parents. Once a child develops a psychiatric or psychological disorder, he or she should be actively treated. In terms of treatment, the main treatment includes psychotherapy and medication. In particular, medication is essential for some of the more severe mental disorders. Many parents have many questions when giving medication to their children, so here, we will elaborate on the issues that need attention during the use of psychiatric medication: 1. Do not blindly believe in the false rumors of “cure for all diseases”, which may delay the best treatment time and lead to drug poisoning or serious drug side effects due to the action of psychiatric drugs on the central nervous system and unprofessional treatment. 2. When explaining the contents of the medical history to the doctor, in addition to describing the child’s morbid manifestations, we should also inform the doctor in detail of any previous serious physical illnesses, such as liver, kidney, cardiovascular disease and drug allergies, and summarize the child’s mental and psychological status before and after the illness, in addition to what we consider to be abnormal behavioral and psychological manifestations, we should also explain the child’s daily behavioral activities, eating, sleeping and physical development, because there are Many physical illnesses will have mental abnormalities as the first symptoms. After receiving a diagnosis from a professional doctor, the child should undergo the necessary physical and laboratory examinations before medication is administered, and appropriate medication should be selected according to the child’s physical condition and age in order to prevent possible somatic adverse reactions caused by medication and to minimize the side effects caused by medication. Parents should give their children medication on time to avoid missing, misuse or overdose. Most psychiatric disorders in children are treated in outpatient clinics, and family supervision is a key factor in whether medication can be taken at home as prescribed. When the doctor prescribes, parents should be clear about the importance of treatment, do not adjust the dose of drugs privately, and return to the hospital in a timely manner if there are adverse reactions or fluctuations in the condition after taking medication. 4, to do regular follow-up of the child, psychotropic drug use period takes weeks, months or even years. In the early stage of drug use, the follow-up should be 1 to 2 weeks, after the interval can be extended. 5. Regarding the side effects of drugs, children are developing individuals and the effects of drugs on each child are not identical. Therefore, it is important to be constantly vigilant when administering medication to children. Psychotropic drugs have a short history, so their long term effects have not been discovered. The advertisements of foreign pharmaceutical companies often reflect “use with caution in pregnant women and children”, while the drug instructions in China say more about the efficacy but less about the side effects, and parents need to pay attention to their children’s mental state, skin, diet, stool and other physical conditions after taking the medication. Most doctors will do laboratory tests to assess the effect of the drug on the metabolism of liver and kidney function since taking the drug. 6. Children’s behavior and emotions are influenced by biological factors as well as by the environment. The older the child is, the greater the influence of environmental factors. Therefore, it is impossible to solve all problems with a single medication, but medication is only part of a comprehensive treatment.
