I can't argue any more with my sister. Her kid is suffering from obsessive compulsive behavior. He is always in action and he can't stop working something or counting. Everything has to be in order. He is 10 years old. My sister took him to a doctor and he has prescribed him Zoloft. I think that it is too strong drug for the kid. Is Zoloft for children?
Zoloft is one of a class of drugs called SSRIs. The FDA has approved the use of Zoloft in adults and it has been extend to approval for children treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder. But both adults and children should be monitored for suicidal feelings, gestures, and attempts. The children are four times more likely to commit suicide then adults while taking Zoloft.
