Depressed youngsters "need the therapy of talk rather than pills"
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has
recently reported that children with depression are too often given pills
rather than “talking therapy”.
It says that children with moderate to severe
depression should be offered talking therapy first, but there is usually a
lengthy wait for counselling on the NHS.
Consequently, up to 50,000 children
a year are prescribed antidepressants in the UK.
We offer counselling for
children at our Therapy Centre and we are experienced at helping
children and young people with this problem.
