- Abstract
Irritability, anger, or aggression and other emergency situations related to dysregulated behaviors or emotions, when present, may require antipsychotic treatment. The purpose of this article is to review current evidence and treatment guidelines regarding symptom and diagnostic indications, patient–family collaboration, and monitoring of children and adolescents treated with antipsychotics. Multiple resources are available to nurse practitioners, nurses, other team members, and parent/guardians to prevent adverse outcomes.
