Rates of diagnosis of psychiatric disorders in children, such as
depression, ADHD and autistic spectrum disorders, have shot up in
recent years. So too has the prescription of antidepressant and
antipsychotic drugs and stimulants. Yet the diagnoses are based on
weak science, questionable research and powerful financial
incentives. In this updated edition of his powerful critique,
consultant child psychiatrist Sami Timimi questions why Western
societies routinely seek to manage children’s behaviour with
dangerous medication. He offers a humane and child-centred
alternative that is about understanding our children’s distress,
not medicating it, and practical advice that all parents, carers
and teachers will find helpful.
