Chemical cosh is a term used primarily by the British. To "cosh" someone means to bang them on the head, resulting in the person being sedated or knocked unconscious. A chemical cosh, then, refers to sedating people with chemicals, or medications. The term is generally used to refer to the situation where Wikipedia:sedation is unnecessary.
More specifically it refers to:
- the widespread dispensation of antipsychotic drugs in residential care to make people with Wikipedia:dementia easier to manage.[1]
- the use of ritalin to calm children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (WP).[2]
