I'm having concerns with psychiatric medications that have only been tested individually on adults are being concurrently prescribed for children.
Not testing (some? most?) of those drugs on children, and furthermore, not testing them in all their combinations on children before prescribing them in the general population would seem to me to be malpractice.
Multiple concurrent drug prescriptions is called polypharmacy and is a huge problem for the elderly from exponential increases in side effects and interactions, and yet if you go looking for polypharmacy concerns in children there is hardly anything to look at.

Still room for improvement.
Polypharmacy in geriatrics is a whole different conversation.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
