Answer to Question 1
Certain medications (psychostimulants) used to treat attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children cause marked decrease in appetite. In practice, parents of the medicated ADHD child often see a compromised appetite especially at the lunch meal, when the medicine is most active. Parents may need to dose the medication after breakfast and serve a larger dinner. These children may often need a third meal before bed. Parents should keep plenty of healthy snacks on hand and offer a balanced diet with nutritious, higher-calorie foods and drinks.
On the other end of the spectrum, children and adolescents who take some of the newer generation of antipsychotic medications for mood stabilization and behavior issues have increased appetite. Users of those medicines risk rapid weight gain and metabolic changes that could lead to diabetes, hypertension, and other illnesses. Some children on those medicines were recorded to have an average weight gain of 1-1.5 pounds a week. Doctors believe, however, these drugs still have their place in behavioral health as they can spare children from psychological suffering. Practitioners are learning, however, that they must be prescribed more cautiously and that the benefits must be weighed against the risks.
