A
The use of SSRIs is strongly warned against when treating children with depression due to the increased incidence of suicidal ideation and attempts. While the focus of studies concerning this has been paroxetine (trade name Paxil), there is evidence that there may be an increased risk for almost all SSRIs, except possibly fluoxetine (Prozac).
