Just wanted to let you all know that their will be a special on PBS's "Frontline" tonight at 9:00 p.m. that may be of interest to some of you.
It is suppose to deal with the longterm effects of using anti-psychotic and stimulant drugs with children. Frontline usually does a pretty good job on showing both sides of an issue. I think it will be interesting.
From the TV guide: The long-term side effects of prescribing antipsychotics and stimulants (such as Ritalin) to kids with bipolar disorder are examined in Marcela Gaviria's "The Medicated Child."
Times may vary being that its PBS, but it is on in my area at 9:00pm. Just thought I'd let you know.

8-)Just finished watching it and I'd say 90% was about childhood Bipolar. Very good though.

I watched up to the one right after the Jessica story. Oh, it broke my heart for that little girl. So far I think this is a very fair assessment of what is going on with Bipolar. I think Frontline did a great job giving us the facts looking at all sides.
Thanks so much Bugs for telling us about it. I, of course, forgot to watch the T.V. show so I'm happy they have the whole thing online.
