Psychiatric Drug Prescriptions for Teenagers

Hi.

I’ve become concerned with the willingness to prescribe psychiatric drugs to teenagers, whose minds are still developing and I’d like to learn more about this issue, from a pharma sales and a neurobiological perspective. However, I have a background in marketing, not medicine, so some scientific papers I’ve found are just too dense for me. Is there a reliable, non-biased resource on the effects of psychiatric drugs on the teen brain for the layman?

Thank you in advance.
