Blues-fighting drug use dips.

After years of soaring prescription rates for antidepressants for children, fewer American children are taking such medication, such as Paxil and Prozac, according to The Washington Post.

The 10 percent decline of antidepressant use last year comes months after controversy over evidence that medications increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior among some children. Activists that urged warnings on labels revealing the drugs' risks said the drop reflects better decisions from parents and physicians.
