Given an indication for pharmacological treatment, prescribers can only draw from a rather limited number of substances with a label for the treatment of children and adolescents suffering from psychiatric disorders. In order to capture the currently available substances with such a label in Austria and to thus provide one element of informed patient education, the Austrian medicinal product index of the Austrian Federal Office for Safety in Health Care has been systematically searched. The resulting tables are being presented.
Keywords: Antidepressants; Antipsychotics; Child and youth psychiatry; Stimulants.
