Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Statement
The statement to evaluate is: "Antidepressant medications are ONLY used to treat major depressive disorder in children and adolescents."
Step 2: Evaluate the Scope of Antidepressant Use
Antidepressant medications are used to treat a variety of conditions, not just major depressive disorder. They are prescribed for anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental health conditions in both children and adults.
Step 3: Determine the Correct Answer
Since antidepressant medications are used to treat multiple conditions and not exclusively major depressive disorder in children and adolescents, the statement is false.
