The definition of severe mental illness has been expanding exponentially since the 1980's.
Before we know it... much of the human population can begin to label & define themselves with mental illness.
From 2015-2019 antidepressant prescriptions jumped 38% for teens ages 15-19. Yet we have NO scientific data to support their effectiveness & overwhelming data demonstrating harm.
I imagine the 2020 data will demonstrate even a greater increase.
What are we doing as a society?
Why is there almost no discussion on Twitter Psych of this excellent study? It points to one of the bleakest ironies in modern mental health - that SSRI antidepressants may be linked to increased suicide risk. Please retweet to try help turn this around!
