Medications help children and adolescents with pain, anxiety, sleep and concentration problems. However, they can themselves become a danger if therapeutic support leads to undetected dependence. Especially in adolescence, this process often proceeds quietly, legally, and goes unrecognized for a long time. This reference book offers a well-founded yet understandable presentation of medication dependence in children and adolescents. It combines current international research with clinical practice, legal classification, and the perspective of those affected. The focus is on developmental characteristics, prevention, therapy, withdrawal, and the responsible use of medication-without stigmatization or blame. A work for professionals, parents, and those affected who want to understand how medication dependence develops and how help can be effective, humane, and development-oriented.
