Getting your head around meds

In this guest blog, YoungMinds’ Lucie Russell talks about the charity’s new website that aims to take the fear factor out of mental health medication for young people: Getting a grip on mental health medication if you have been prescribed it is a minefield for adults and for young people it’s an even scarier prospect. To address this and demystify the world of mental health meds YoungMinds has recently launched HeadMeds, a new website about mental health medication for young people aged 13-25. HeadMeds is funded by Comic Relief and the Nominet Trust as part of the Innovation Labs (www.innovationlabs.org.uk)
