Description:
Holistic care includes the mind, body, and spirit. Being aware of specific psychotropic medications and how they work to improve symptoms is valuable information for mental health clinicians, including play therapists. When medication is added to the treatment, the therapist may wonder if changes in the client's behavior, positive or negative, are a result of interventions, the medication, or both. This information is valuable because the client may need a lower dose or have the dose adjusted, or the medication discontinued. This does not imply that therapists need to have in-depth knowledge pertaining to psychotropic medications. It is suggested here that the therapist have some familiarity with commonly used psychotropic medications, and concerns related to changes in behavior communicated to the parent.
This presentation provides information regarding commonly used drug classifications to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, childhood depression, and anxiety in children. Information about common expected side effects will be included. Play therapists will be able to share scenarios in which unexpected changes in behaviors exhibited in the playroom may have been influenced by the effects of psychotropic medications, as well as what to be aware of, should a child present with adverse reactions.
