A cross-sectional study designed to document the use of psychotropic medication in a population of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children and adolescents (n = 64) found 45% of the sample had been prescribed at least one psychotropic medication over a 4-year period. The most common medication category prescribed was antidepressants (30%), followed by stimulant-type medications (25%). This study suggests that psychotropic medications are commonly prescribed to HIV-infected children and adolescents. Close partnership with mental health professionals to develop treatment approaches for psychiatric disorders in youth living with HIV is recommended.
一项横断面研究旨在记录人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染儿童和青少年群体(n = 64)中精神药物的使用情况,该研究发现,在4年期间,45%的样本至少被开具过一种精神药物。开具最多的药物类别是抗抑郁药(30%),其次是兴奋剂类药物(25%)。这项研究表明,HIV感染儿童和青少年通常会被开具精神药物。建议与心理健康专业人员密切合作,为感染HIV的青少年制定精神疾病的治疗方法。
