I'm not an expert, but to be honest, I would keep your 12 year old far away from Pmedication until she is at least 21 years old. SSRI's can stunt growth through lower levels of human growth hormone, and cause low testosterone. I think it's vital not to infere in this process, espscially in her age. Also, simply interefering with her neurochemistry in that age is really risky. Find a good CBT therapist for your niece or exhaust your options before you use medication.
