FRONTLINE

The Medicated Child

Tuesday, January 8, 2008 9 - 10:00 pm (check local listings)

With more than four million children now on behavior modifying

medications - some starting as young as two years old -

" Frontline " continues its investigation into the controversial

practice of medicating kids. Are the drugs safe? How young can

you detect mental illness in a child? Is medication really the

answer? As the debate grows more fierce, " Frontline " confronts

psychiatrists, researchers and big pharma about the risks and

benefits of prescription drugs for troubled children. (CC,
