[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 344057"] [B][URL='http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18534-child-psychiatric-diagnosis-on-trial.html']Child psychiatric diagnosis on trial - New Scientist[/URL][/B] When Carolyn Riley was convicted of killing her 4-year-old daughter Rebecca by overdosing her with psychotropic drugs prescribed for the child, some jurors reportedly felt that the psychiatrist who wrote the prescriptions should also have been on trial. That will not happen: the doctor was granted immunity when agreeing to testify in the case. But the validity of the condition for which Rebecca was being treated is being questioned by psychiatrists. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) says it needs to be replaced by an entirely new diagnosis, while others argue that this move could create fresh problems. [/QUOTE]
