Will nobody think of the children? Not in this government, no. Credit: Moment RF If you want to see how badly a government is failing its children, look at how many of those young people are on antidepressants. A report published this week found that more than 27,000 children were prescribed the drugs last year, a figure 40 per cent higher than five years ago. The number spiked during the first lockdown, while NHS figures show there was a 28 per cent rise in children being referred to mental health services between April and December 2020, amounting to 80,000 more cases. Even before the pandemic, child mental health services – all mental health services – were struggling. In 2018, a Panorama investigation found that many children only received proper care after attempting suicide, and that, due to years of government underfunding, the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) were “not fit for purpose”.
