Joseph Boden: Otago University professor of psychological medicine responds to Mike King's claims about alcohol
Manage episode 447761560 series 2098282
A professor of psychological medicine says mental health advocates shouldn't spout misinformation about alcohol.
I Am Hope and Gumboot Friday campaigner Mike King yesterday told Newstalk ZB alcohol could be a solution for people with mental health issues.
Labour has called on the Government to review its $24 million funding for his charity, which delivers youth counselling.
Otago University's Joseph Boden says although alcohol can temporarily help people think about fewer problems, it's far from a fix.
"The difficulty is - it is actually a nervous system depressant. So when misused, it can increase suicide risk."
