A school psychiatrist placed my 4 year old nephew on Abilify because the school was ready to kick him out. He (nephew) has always been very out of control. He threatened suicide and defaces school property. Very angry. Bites kids, stomps on them. I dont think my sister is that bad of a mom. This kid has major issues.

Not at all acceptible. It clearly states in the commercials that only healthy adults (that is, those above 18) should take it. Certainly not preschoolers! Why would a preschooler be depressed anyway? Depression hits at a much later time.
No! It’s just wrong!!
While it would not be my first choice, there are preschoolers diagnosed with early onset/pediatric Bipolar Disorder, albeit very rare. It is generally only done in these very rare instances where children especially those who are rapid cycling where meds like Abilify are prescribed. Pediatric or early onset Bipolar Disorder can start as early as infancy.
