Abstract

Objective:

This paper aims to review the reports of quetiapine usage in child and adolescent psychiatry.

Method:

Studies about the clinical usage, effectiveness and the side effects of quetiapine in children and adolescents are reviewed in this paper.

Result:

Quetiapine has been used to treat psychotic disorder, Tourette's syndrome, bipolar disorder and autism in children and adolescents.

Discussion:

Because quetiapine appears to be a well tolerated agent in children and adolescents with salutary effects, it seems to be a promising agent for the young population. Despite supportive findings, the studies are small in number and some have methodological limitations.

Keywords: Child, adolescent, quetiapine.
