The process of prescribing changes as children move into adulthood. For some medicines, such as psychotropic drugs, safety and efficacy are less well understood in adolescents As adolescents mature they attain the capacity to consent to their own medical treatment. An assessment of their competency will need to take into account the nature of the treatment being proposed Parental involvement is usually beneficial particularly for adolescents with chronic or complex conditions, but increasing adolescent autonomy needs to be respected Adherence to treatment can be supported by understanding adolescent development and involving adolescents in management plans
随着儿童步入成年期而调整用药的过程。对于某些药物，如精神药物，青少年对其安全性和有效性的了解较少。随着青少年的成熟，他们获得了同意接受自身医疗治疗的能力。对他们的行为能力进行评估时需要考虑所提议治疗的性质。父母的参与通常是有益的，特别是对于患有慢性或复杂疾病的青少年，但青少年日益增强的自主性也需要得到尊重。了解青少年的发育情况并让他们参与管理计划有助于提高治疗的依从性。
