Early and Late Emerging Side Effects of Antidepressants in Youth
Antidepressants, such as SSRIs and SNRIs, are commonly used to treat neuropsychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. These medications can result in both early, like activation and GI symptoms, which are often transient, and late emerging side effects, including weight gain and sexual dysfunction. It is crucial to proactively educate patients and parents about these potential side effects and manage them by adjusting doses or using a gradual escalation approach.
