It's unusual to that antipsychotic drugs are used in children because of the heavy risk associated with the drugs. But, when used correctly, the drugs do have a positive role in treating some seriously demented patients, who may be incapacitated by paranoia or are self-destructive or violent. Taking the edge off the behavior can keep them safe and living at home, rather than in a nursing home.

If patients are prescribed an antipsychotic, it should be a very low dose for the shortest period necessary.
