The number of children and young people prescribed anti-psychotic drugs in England almost doubled between 2000 and 2019, according to new research.
A study by the University of Manchester’s Centre for Women’s Mental Health published in The Lancet Psychiatry looked at the records of 7.2 million children and adolescents, aged 3 to 18, registered at selected English general practices over the period 2000 to 2019.
