Our Whisky Tango Foxtrot fact for the day:
Mark Olfson, professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University, said about 1.5 percent of all
privately insured children between the ages of 2 and 5, or one in 70 children, received some sort of
psychotropic drug -- whether an antipsychotic, a mood stabilizer, a stimulant or an antidepressant -- in 2007.
If a child is diagnosed with bipolar disorder between the ages of 2 and 5, about half are prescribed
antipsychotic medication- about one in 3,000 2-year-olds.
Bipolar disorder, characterized by severe mood swings, was once thought to emerge only during
adolescence or later. But Dr. Joseph Biederman, a child psychiatrist at Harvard University, transformed
views on the subject by arguing that children could have the disorder at extremely young ages. He is
credited with spearheading a more than 40-fold increase in the number of children diagnosed with bipolar
disorder over the past decade.
Biederman was accused in 2008 by Republican U.S. Senator Charles Grassley of failing to fully disclose
payments by drug companies, including some that produced medication for bipolar disorder.
