With one in eight young people aged five to nineteen having a mental disorder, demand for access to mental health services is at an all-time high and antidepressant use is on the increase. Sanah Ahsan investigates what is fuelling the crisis and what treatment is available for young people, and whether it is over-reliant on antidepressants. She also asks if medical solutions are being offered for emotional problems and whether destigmatisation campaigns have had unintended consequences
