When Rochelle Trochtenberg aged out of foster care, she was on 10 different mood-stabilizing drugs to treat bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder and PTSD.

According to an investigation by the San Jose Mercury News, one in four adolescents in foster care are on psychotropic drugs, more than three times the rate for adolescents overall.
