National Inquiry into the Role of Antidepressants in Youth Suicide - see my article summary below
This inquiry is a very welcome and long overdue review. For many years, it's known using anti-depressants in people under the age of 25 was associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and suicide.
In 2004, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Black Box Warning that using anti-depressants in children under 18 is associated with an increase in suicidal thinking and behaviour in children. In 2007 this warning included all people under 25 years. A Black Box Warning is the highest and strictest warning level due to the severe side effects of that medication.
Mental Health & Food, Diet and Nutrition
I have worked extensively with children and mood disorders. Although helping children with mood disorders is a holistic approach, food, diet, and nutrition can play a significant role in helping improve mental health.
Micronutrient deficiencies and malnutrition play a vital role in the mental health of children. There is a significant increase in the consumption of ultra-processed foods which lack nutritional needs for a healthy brain. We know for healthy moods, the body and mind need healthy proteins, fats, dietary minerals and vitamins from fresh whole real foods.
