My 14 year old LAC, has been told by CAMHS she has 'a low mood'. She hasn't being diagnosed with depression. CAMHS are likely to prescribe my fd anti-d's this week. I have asked if we can try other avenues first, like CBT, or even a placebo if they must prescribe. I do not believe she is depressed, and I'm not on my own, school doesn't think so either. Trouble is, CAMHS have asked her if she would like to start on them, and she is delighted and looking forward to it.
I am not totally against the idea for the right reasons, but I don't feel that they should prescribe anti-d's without exploring elsewhere first.
As a fc, what powers do I have, does anyone know. I mean, do I have the power to prevent them doing this or will I just be overruled?
thanks in advance for any advice or opinions
