TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Clozapine for treatment of aggression in non-psychotic adolescents JO - Asian journal of psychiatry A1 - Kumar, Tarun A1 - Kathpal, Archana A1 - Demer, James SP - 102 EP - 104 VL - 22 IS - N2 - Use of Second Generation Antipsychotics (SGAs) in children and adolescents has grown more significantly in recent years. Clozapine has shown good results for the treatment of aggression in adult population but no case has been reported about the use of clozapine for treatment of aggression in non-psychotic adolescents. We present cases of 2 adolescents in which clozapine was used primarily to treat their aggressive behavior and suicidal ideation.
