Experts Warn: Rising Use of Mood-Altering Drugs in Children Could Harm Long-Term Well-Being
Experts in the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin warn about the growing trend of prescribing psychotropic drugs to children and young people, highlighting the lack of solid evidence supporting this practice and the rising concerns about safety and efficacy.
