Recommendation
The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health should take the necessary steps to have the treatment recommendations concerning adolescent anxiety and mood disorders clarified such that the co-operation among basic health care, specialised health care, and social services personnel is as seamless as possible, to ensure that every adolescent receives the best possible treatment. Moreover, the instructions concerning anti-depressant medication for adolescents should be more specific.
