Psychiatric Drugs in Children and Adolescents

Abstract

The term “drug” is not employed in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10) classification (World Health Organisation 1996), which refers instead to groups of psychotropic substances, the ingestion of which – usually on a regular and medically inappropriate basis – can lead to mental disorders and behavioral abnormalities: alcohol, opioids, cannabinoids, sedatives or hypnotics, cocaine, other psychostimulants (including caffeine), hallucinogens, tobacco, and volatile solvents. Disorders arising from alcohol abuse are not discussed here, but in Chap. 10. It is difficult to accommodate so-called party drugs in these categories, so they will be discussed in a separate section.
