The article "Young people are being prescribed dangerous antidepressants"  is devoted to the problem of using dangerous antidepressants among children and teenagers. Nowadays the mental health problem has become very serious and popular. Many young people are suffering from depression, and due to this fact they have to take antidepressants. Unfortunately, sometimes these pills could make things even worse.

From my point of view, it is dangerous to take some pills without knowing that it could consist of strong drugs and other psychotropic substances. It is better to always check some symptoms from this or that medicine in the Internet and read some recommendations to it. People should be very cautious about their health. Secondly, talking about children who are under 18, I think, that their parent should always care about mental health of their kids for not making situation too bad that a child has to take antidepressants. In many cases, pills can be excluded if parents constantly conduct psychotherapeutic exercises with their child. Only rare exceptions may be allowed for these pills. It is so awful that people, who are trying to beat depression, become the victim of someone's mistake.

However, some people think that taking antidepressants is the only way in the treatment of depression. If people feel that their mental health is deteriorating, then most of the time they themselves ask the psychotherapist to prescribe antidepressants for them.

I think, that in that case, it is really important to have a really good doctor who will try to dissuade the patient from taking the pills and suggest more appointments. Most often, patients, especially children, find it difficult to stop taking antidepressants, so it is important to start taking it only in extreme cases.

In conclusion, I would like to say that people should be able to control their emotions and learn how to take over negative thoughts to avoid depression and, subsequently, use of antidepressants. As for children, who are not yet able to control their emotions, their parents, firstly, should be near them and help them in that difficult period.
