Can You Give Me Your Opinion On Whether Or Not

Can you give me your opinion on whether or not children taking antidepressants can lead to future, more serious mental illness? I am a teacher and I am terrified at the rising number of youth taking antidepressants. I favor wellness based on organic, local, real, slow food. I am so saddened by the food industry and pharmaceutical industry that is slowly killing members of our society and robbing them of an active and pain free life. I am a 51 year old female who has never taken meds, but rather have focused on exercise and nutrition, yoga and meditation, reading books and dancing and listening to music. Thanks for your time.
