Petition End diagnosis of mental health conditions in children and adolescents

More details

For years now, children and adolescents have been subjected to diagnosis of mental health conditions, such as Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD.
A mental health diagnosis should only be performed if a child or adolescent is physically or psychologically violent towards others.
This petition calls on the Department of Health to stop this ludicrous notion of labelling youngsters with mental health disorders.
