Clinical negligence harms learning

Full decision

Summary

Mrs C, who is an advocate, complained to us that her client (Mr A) had suffered depression as a result of the community mental health team stopping his anti-psychotic medication. We sought independent advice from one of our medical advisers who told us that Mr A's medication had been stopped in line with national guidelines. The adviser also said that research has shown that there was no recorded evidence that such action can cause depression.
