>> so, this is the actual study this is what we call a meta analysis, so these researchers looked at many other studies, many other reviews, they teased through what they thought was data really done with a good method and what they found was that in adolescents and children taking antidepressants, there was a doubling in their risk of aggressive behavior and restlessness. really one of the first times that those two particular end points were studied in a cumulative manner like this. now, there can be flaws with the methodology here, so you really have to take this with a grain of taught, but it brings up what are the risks in this age group with this medication. >> so as a doctor, what do you tell parents in light of this new study if they have a child who is suffering? >> listen, it's a very complex decision-making process. i encourage people, think like a doctor. you want to ask four questions, what are the risks of taking this medication, what are the risks of not taking the medication then you have to ask the flip side, what are the benefits of taking the benefits of not taking the medication and then you have to factor in alternatives like exercise, psychotherapy, a holistic approach and weigh that for the individual. this is not cookie cutter. >> and let me play strong devil's advocate there. there are people who believe children should not be taking these type of medications at all for any reason. how do you respond? >> you can't throw out the baby with the bathwater. here, in fact, we reached out to the american psychiatric association last night that said in the right patient, these medications can be life-saving so this has to be individualized and wrap this in to a mental health professional team approach, parent, child, medical and psychiatric team and make that decision on a case-by-case basis. >> thanks so much. always available taking questions online on twitter. >> over to lara now. here's what's coming up on our "gma morning menu." another big parenting alert this morning. this is about this duct tape challenge the kids are trying. it could be very dangerous. and we're also going inside fellow weight watchers. and then we're counting down to the super bowl with a look at some of this year's really amazing ads. and an old friend, wayne brady, starring on broadway and with us this morning. hello, my dear. we're excited to talk to you. i understand you're doing a little breakfast rap. no eggs included. >> yes. >> we'll get into that coming up.

>> does that work just saying, oh, look, something bad can happen? >> there are a couple of things, parents need to -- one of the things that helps is if you talk to your kids. parents told us that when they have a conversation with their child and it's not talking down to them or yelling at them, look, this is going on, this is scary, this can happen, their kids respond better and more likely to make better choices. doesn't always work but can >> i was telling you harper likes to ride an air mattress down the stairs these days and i'm sort of torn. it's a tiny stair. let her have fun. of course. no postings. she's not allowed to post. >> kids think they're invincible. and that's part of the problem. they don't look at more tall the same way but that's why i think stories like skylar's can be helpful. they're cautionary tales. i looked at this challenge and thought, well, this isn't so bad. not as bad as the cinnamon challenge or surfing on the street but you can see what can happen. if you share what happens, if you show them there can be real consequences to silly things they do. >> duct taping your whole body. what can go wrong? >> everything. >> everything could go wrong. >> and if they ask, don't buy the duct tape. >> don't buy the duct tape. lock it away. >> that's a great nugget. a little takeaway for you. >> thank you, ericka. >> thank you. from duct tape parenting alert to oprah back in the headlines this morning with her fellow weight watchers. we told you how she has shed 26 pounds while enjoying bread. now we're getting an inside look at her secret strategies. abc's abbie boudreau has the details. >> i don't deny myself bread. i have bread every day. >> reporter: overnight the queen of talk hosting a phone call exclusively for weight watchers members. oprah revealing how she dropped 26 pounds using the program since she became a part owner last fall. weight watchers' stock rising after the media mogul joined the company. >> i was really at my wit's end. i've actually done no carbs, vegan, protein shakes and green drinks all in one day. well, what's different for me this time is i've made the decision that it's not a diet and everybody has watched me, i've gone on a diet and then gone off the diet. the difference for me is i have made the shift to this is the way i'm going to live for the rest of my life. >> reporter: sharing her >> beating yourself up, that no longer exists for me, and that's the beauty of this program. >> reporter: giving tips to members about putting yourself first. >> i get it in first. there is no me if you don't do it first. the idea of putting yourself first is a foreign concept to a lot of women. >> reporter: and how to stay on track. >> rather than throwing in the towel, give yourself credit for every time you don't. every time you make a move in the direction of being accountable to the points, you times strength equals power. >> reporter: oprah's celebrating sharing words of encouragement. >> the ability to move freely inside your body is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. i'm going to turn 62. what i know more than ever is you have nothing without your health. >> reporter: reminding people to never give up. >> and the fact that we all have community to say no matter how many times i've been challenged by it, i refuse to give up until i get it right. i'm just here to not only share my story, but to try to be an inspiration to other people who want to share theirs. >> reporter: for "good morning america," abbie boudreau, abc news, los angeles. >> iove ose rds,trenh plustrenh eqls per. yea tho areordso ta home absotely hap birday opr. >> yh. >>appyirthy. >> l's hd ouide rob >>hey, guys, listen, it's cold out so it's a good day to wear a hat, especially if you're one of the seven dwarfs which it's national have fun at work today. >> absolutely. >> so, what do you do at work?

a kid wearing high heels. dad is a boxer, get those things off and slabbed around his entire life and now he dresses in drag and sings. it's not about his sexuality. he's actually straight. it's more
