"And so that quickly spiraled into a cascade of anti-depressants, benzoazipines, mood stabilizers, and antiscychotics. All before I was in uh even 10 years old."
Danielle Gansky tells host Alex Clark she was first placed on ADHD stimulants at age seven after a teacher suggested an evaluation, then says clinicians added antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs in quick succession. She frames the early polypharmacy as the beginning of harm she says has followed her into adulthood.
