Risperdal, a common antipsychotic drug used for a variety of illnesses, has been seen to have some very negative and damaging side effects in young boys. The drug has been shown to increase the levels of prolactin in young boys thus causing them to develop male breasts, a condition known as Gynecomastia. This video describes the experience of Sam Wilson, a young boy who had developed this condition from his use of Risperdal. Like Sam, many young boys experience fear of humiliation and embarrassment because of the condition caused by this drug. In many cases these young boys are hurt psychologically more than they are helped.
