With 1 in 6 Australians now taking a mental health drug, Dr Martin Whitely' s Overprescribing Madness asks: What' s gone wrong in the lucky country? He expertly investigates the drivers of Australia' s rapidly increasing rates of the diagnosis and treatment of depression, anxiety, psychosis and ADHD, and offers a series of thoughtful reforms needed to ensure psychiatric practice is based on rigorous, independent, bias-minimised evidence that reflects the Hippocratic obligation of medical practitioners to ' first do no harm' . Read Overprescribing Madness and understand the social, economic, political, and ideological, factors driving Australia' s ' pill for every ill' approach to mental health.
Dr Martin Whitely is a mental health researcher, author, former mental health consumer advocate, teacher, and Member of the West Australian Parliament. His research interests include regulatory capture of mental health policy and practice, especially in relation to the safe use of drugs for ADHD and depression. He has led award winning research demonstrating that the youngest children in a classroom both in Western Australia and globally are much more likely than their older classmates to be ' medicated' for ADHD.
