Revisiting the role of monoamine oxidase inhibitors in pediatric psychopharmacology

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The concept of providing psychophar-macological treatment for children and youth remains controversial. This has especially been true regarding the use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) due to their significant side effects and concern about dietary adherence by children, youth, and their families. However, some literature and clinical experience exists on their use in common pediatric Psychiatric disorders. This article reviews this literature and a case series in the context of these concerns and raises questions about the reconsideration of these agents in the pediatric population.
