When I was seven years old, my father announced one day that we were moving to California. My reaction and my brother's were predictable. We went into a small panic at the prospect of going to a new school and having to make new friends. Our parents, just as predictably, assured us that it would turn out to be no big deal.

(Despite earlier claims about Prozac and attempts to link Luvox to the Colorado school shootings, there is no evidence that SSRIs themselves cause violent behavior.) Although the FDA hasn't approved all these uses for all the drugs, doctors are free to prescribe them for anything they...
