There’s limited evidence to back up the widespread and increasing
rates of prescribing mood-altering drugs (psychotropics) as the
mainstay of mental health treatment for children and young people,
warn experts in an editorial, published today (July 29) in the
August issue of Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin (dtb).
But first and foremost, current prescribing practice for these
drugs, which include sedatives, anti-anxiolytics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, and melatonin, needs to be a lot safer, they
insist.
The numbers of these drugs being prescribed to children and
young people has been rising steadily, along with a tendency
to prescribe them for longer periods, note the editorialists.

Aww ... gee ... they FINALLY noticed this ???
Maybe the Big Pharma kickbacks made their vision
a bit blurry ?
Having been one, amongst them, note that's there's
rarely ANYTHING "wrong" with little kids. Yet they
have been doped-up like mad for a couple of decades
now - treated like pet owners who de-claw their
cats or whatever - inconveniences to be 'corrected',
to yield the least annoyances.
There was a very old SNL "commercial" for "Puppy
Uppers" and "Doggie Downers" ... just dope yer
pets to suit YOUR immediate wants and needs. It
was a joke way back when - but NOW people do it
to their own kids.
Noticed that Gen-Z/A2 are just *nuts* - time
bombs ??? Between all the dope and 'therapy'
to screw up their brains is it any WONDER ???
