Many of the young people I see aren’t overdiagnosed; they’re responding rationally to unbearable conditions.

Curious what clinicians, teachers, parents & young people here are seeing on the ground.

Blaming overdiagnosis fails to confront the deeper causes of children’s distress An upcoming UK review1 into the possible “overdiagnosis” of mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions in children risks overshadowing another crisis: a generation being made ill by deprivation. ...

We talk about a “youth mental health crisis” as if kids just became fragile.

In clinic, their distress maps perfectly onto poverty, housing, racism, school & digital harms.
