United Nations Statement Criticizes Medicalization of Depression on World Health Day (2017). Article at Mad In America.

Quote from the statement by Dainius Pūras:

"The use of psychotropic medications as the first line treatment for depression and other conditions is, quite simply, unsupported by the evidence. The excessive use of medications and other biomedical interventions, based on a reductive neurobiological paradigm causes more harm than good, undermines the right to health, and must be abandoned."
