Abstract

Authors’s conclusions: health advisories and warnings issued by regulatory bodies may have unintended consequences on the provision of care, delivery of health services and clinical outcomes.

Reviewer’s commentary: paediatricians and mental health professionals must do the greatest possible effort to make a correct diagnosis of major depression in children and adolescents. The pharmacological treatment of such disease probably exceeds its possible harm.
