Abstract

The use of antipsychotic or neuroleptic drugs in childhood and adolescence is a controversal issue because of its ethical involvements and because of the difficult to fixing clinical guidelines. In this article, I’m looking over the literature about indications and adverse effects of these drugs. I’ll specially insist in the new features of atypical neuroleptic drugs.
