BACKGROUND
Consumers feel they do not get enough information to allow them to make an informed choice about medication and are often expected to put up with unacceptable side-effects. The term “side-effect” diminishes what people who take the medication experience. They are unwanted, distressing and often more debilitating than the mental illness.
SOLUTIONS
· Consumer advocates at point of prescription
· More focus on therapies which involve discussing issues
· Information and explanation about side-effects which may occur every time a prescription is administered
· Doctors to be made more aware of drug reactions and interactions
