A recent executive order by President Trump has raised concerns among mental health professionals, as it categorizes mental health prescriptions as a 'threat'. This move could potentially undermine effective treatment for children struggling with depression, ADHD, and other mental health challenges. The federal commission's focus on U.S. chronic disease may inadvertently overlook the importance of mental health treatment, including prescription medications. With mental health awareness and online therapy on the rise, it's crucial to prioritize evidence-based treatments and support for those in need. Mental health care, including medication and therapy, is essential for addressing mental health issues.
