Mary Rose is nine years old. She is adopted. Her biological mother suffered from depression and her biological father was abusive. Mary Rose was removed from the home at age three, but not before witnessing excessive arguing between her parents, including physical fighting. Mary Rose spent time in foster care before being adopted three years ago. She has had difficulty adjusting to her new family and school. She initiates fights with her classmates and seems to enjoy intimidating them. She takes others’ possessions and destroys them just for fun. Last week she rode her bicycle outside of her neighborhood and was gone for three hours. She lied to her parents about where she had been and couldn’t understand why they were worried about her.

Recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating your assigned disorder in children and adolescents.
Explain the risk assessment you would use to inform your treatment decision making. What are the risks and benefits of the FDA-approved medicine? What are the risks and benefits of the off-label drug?
Explain whether clinical practice guidelines exist for this disorder and, if so, use them to justify your recommendations. If not, explain what information you would need to take into consideration.
Support your reasoning with at least three scholarly resources, one each on the FDA-approved drug, the off-label, and a non-medication intervention for the disorder. Attach the PDFs of your sources.
