Do We Really Need Drugs for Teenagers?
In the New York Times express scripts a mail order pharmacy recently reported that prescriptions of antidepressants for teenagers rose 38 percent from 2015 to 29. We don't know exactly what the long-term effects of children using these are and there are other solutions I'm not judging any parent. But this country and a society needs to really look deeply at this issue and say should children because we didn't go on these drugs when we were kids They didn't exist and they haven't existed for all of humanity.
