How Much Coverage Has Anti-Depressant Use Recieved in Last 10 Yrs? How Many Studies/movies/media Released?
Question by Erin D: How much coverage has anti-depressant use recieved in last 10 yrs? How many studies/movies/media released?
I’m trying to prove that society is very concerned with the implications of a nation on anti-d drugs, but that it does not seem to have a healthy discussion about prescription drug abuse of painkillers, stimulants, and opioids. It’s been hard to find statistics, can you find any?

Or are mentally ill and need help…
Here is a statistic…
THIRTY THOUSAND AMERICANS KILL THEMSELVES EVERY YEAR…
All because of our views on health care and the stigma of people trying to get help for their mental illness.
We allow people to stay addicted to drugs and abuse their children…
We will let people die in the gutter before we force them into treatment…
We are a sad and convoluted country…
