Abstract
Our review shows that experimental studies have demonstrated the implication of the serotonin system in bone metabolism. Mice with genetic disruption of 5-HTT have a bone phenotype of decreased bone mass, altered architecture, and decreased mechanical properties. Clinical studies exploring the effect of SSRIs on bone metabolism are scarce in children. However, results in adults tend to show a deleterious effect in the elderly. Regarding the frequency of SSRI prescription in the pediatric population, it is becoming urgent to better explore the effect of SSRIs on bone growth of children, as it can have major implications on the ulterior follow-up and on the precautions to take.
