New data highlights increase in children’s antidepressant prescribing in Scotland

New data obtained by the BBC shows a concerning rise in antidepressant prescribing for children in Scotland. In this comment we highlight that undiagnosed ADHD and ASD can be one thing which gives rise to mental health problems in young people.

As well as treatment for anxiety and depression, much could be achieved if young people were able to engage more with the Outdoors, the arts, exercise and purpose – and if parents were better supported.   All things we plan to work on in the future.
