Its from a newspaper called the gaurdian, though this has been in the news more than once over the years, i dont know how many children there are in the UK,population around 60 million, how many are prescribed ADs out of that too many i think, dont think its a good idea at all to be giving children anti depressants, i just see it as an excuse to use these meds on as many of the population as possible, more money for big pharma, most ADs are not good for us in the long term, i know too many who have gotten more health issues cos of them,trouble is that drs do not tell us of side effects of most meds that get prescribed, probably cos we wouldnt want them,ADs are given out far too easily now, even trying to prscribe a AD to me for pain, i had been prescribed that 10-15 years ago, it had horrible side effects so i refused it, maybe a PK would be a better idea instead of dealing with the unknown.
Def agree with your last point about social causes being a problem, probably for thousands of people, but that would mean addressing poverty, lack of decent housing, jobs that pay a decent wage not just enough to pay all the bills and day to day living costs, the list is endless, particularly after years of austerity mostly towards the poorest and most vulnerable, just dont think the people running this country want or interested in getting rid of poverty, start looking after people instead of constantly grinding their faces into the dirt and some might not actually not be depressed, there is easily the means to do it but government that leans to the right has no interest in doing that.
The same people in power think foodbanks are a jolly good idea .
