There is some speculation that MAOI's work specificaly becouse they foster growth of brain cells. (If I remember correctly it's in the Hipocampus). I am not in any way an athority here (everything I know about Depression and MAOI's I learned from SA), but as a layman it would seem, that since children's brains have a greater amount of growth and development, that MAOI's would, while increasing Seritonin, not have as much effect on growth. Personaly I think that scientific information, discoveries should never be secret. I had a physics prof who had a pattent on an solution to a class of equations. (don't remember details), So, everyone now knows the information, can use the solution in their work, but if they use the solution in a way that generates income, they owe him for it. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
