One of the greatest concerns of psychotropic drug use in children and adolescents is that this type of medication is overprescribed. According to a report by the Food and Drug Administration, as of September 2009, “more than 500,000 children and adolescents in America are now taking antipsychotic drugs.” (Wilson, 2010) 500,000 is definitely a large number, but considering the fact that approximately one in ten children in the United States suffer from various mental illnesses, this number is actually quite low. The main reason people believe this medication is overprescribed is because many parents are simply looking for an easy way to quell their child’s hyperactivity. “’Families sometimes feel the need for a quick fix,’ Dr. Gleason said. ‘That’s often the prescription pad. But I’m concerned that when a child sees someone who prescribes but doesn’t do therapy, they’re closing the door that can make longer-lasting change.’” (Wilson, 2010)

| The farmers of our state have asked that we introduce legislation to provide subsidies for soybeans. Unfortunately, we will have to turn down their request. If we give subsidies to the soybean farmers, then the corn and wheat growers will ask for the same thing. Then it will be the cotton growers, citrus growers, truck farmers, and cattle raisers. In the end, the cost will be astronomical.Answer

DuPont (2005) reports, "During the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the use of prescription medicines for an increasing number of indications. Participating fully in this trend has been the use of medicines to treat psychiatric disorders and the widespread use of narcotic analgesics to treat outpatients for the first time in a century." Errors in prescribing and over medicating has struck a wide spread controversy. Nonmedical use or use by someone who had not seen a physician to get a proper prescription is of a higher concern (DuPont, 2005).

The right to prescribe medication for psychologist have been a hot topic in the mental health field and have been a major goal of the American Psychological Association. In fact, the American Psychological Association have established many different training programs and legislations towards achieving this goal. Today, the state of New Mexico, Louisiana, and Illinois are the three states that have approved prescription rights for psychologist, with many other state have already introduced similar legislation waiting for approval. It is believed that the benefits of granting prescription rights to psychologist are that it would improve mental health service, affordability, accessibility and effectiveness of mental health treatment. However, giving psychologist the prescription right could lead to many negative factors such as psychologist’s lack of appropriate training for prescribing medication, changes in psychologist treatment for patient, and legal and ethical issues.

in order to encourage drug prescriptions; thus, physicians through prescriptions persuade their patients they need pills to cure their illnesses (153). Many Pharma companies spend 15.7 billion dollars and approximately 19,000 per physician in the United States” (153). Accordingly, mental health medications are becoming one of the best-selling and marketed drugs in the United States; “one in five adults were prescribed medication in 2010” (154). To evaluate the level of pharmaceutical influence over physicians through gifts the following four drugs were studied: Vyvanse (stimulant), Invega (antipsychotic), Pristiq (anti-depressant), and Cymbalta (antidepressant) (155). From their studies, both Pristique and Invega showed little to no improvement. The data and method used to determine the amount of prescriptions for the four drugs is very well conducted; the authors looked at 47,607,531 patients whom received at-least one prescription for one of the four drugs from 2005-2009 (156). Similarly, researchers from Monash Medical Centre in Melbourne found that many physicians diagnosed a significant number of people as having a mental disorder when they most likely did not have one at all, all due to pharmaceutical gifts (Moynihan and Cassels 2008, 54).
