the current widespread use of psychoactive drugs is just plain wrong and doing real and lasting harm to society. Bad Medicine: Psychiatric medicine | British Journal of General Practice https://t.co/AnKwfC2YoE
We must support children with specific problems but labelling children for life and prescribing psychoactive medication at key developmental periods is not supported by the evidence. Bad Medicine: Psychiatric medicine | British Journal of General Practice
