The majority of children in a landmark study on puberty blockers experienced positive or negative changes in their mental health, new analysis suggests. The original study of 44 children, who all took the controversial drugs for a year or more, found no mental health impact - neither benefits nor harm. But a re-analysis of that data now suggests 34% saw their mental health deteriorate, while 29% improved. The new study has not been in a peer-reviewed journal yet. The authors say they felt there was an urgency in getting the information into the public domain. Please subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog #BBCNews
