Rates of diagnosis of psychiatric disorders such as ADHD, and the subsequent prescription of psychiatric drugs in children, have increased alarmingly over recent years. Yet diagnoses are supported by very little scientific evidence and the effectiveness and safety of drugs for children is highly questionable. Here, Sami Timimi arms you with some of the information you'll need to make informed choices about a child's diagnosis and treatment.
He provides an honest account of the dangers of medicating children or adolescents and discusses alternative therapies.
