Prescribing Psychiatric Drugs To Children
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper. The ratio of children who are diagnosed with a psychiatric condition and the numbers who are taking psychotropic drugs has soared in the last ten to fifteen years. In fact, prescriptions for Ritalin alone rose by 600 percent since the late 1980s. The writer provides a comprehensive investigation of the diagnosis and the use of prescribed drugs. Some studies allege that children are overdiagnosed and overmedicated, some concluded that many children slip through the cracks and are not diagnosed and treated, while still others suggest it is an issue of misdiagnosis and improper medication. This essay concludes with a discussion that addresses the ethics of prescribing these medications to children, when many have not been approved for use below the age of 18. Statistical data included. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Prescription Drug Coverage For Senior Citizens: Current Controversy
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Health care reform has been a thorn in the nation's side ever since the development of private insurance and employer-supplied coverage after World War II. This union-supported venture did not sit well with subsequent presidents, such as Truman, who tried hard to reform health care so as to reflect a more comprehensive and viable commodity for all Americans. Clinton even took a shot at it, however, one might readily argue that his was the most catastrophic failure of all attempts made in past decades, with Johnson's passing of Medicare and Medicaid proving to be the only successful endeavor. Today, however, the issue of providing senior citizens with prescription drugs has come to the forefront of virtually all health-related concerns. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
