Most of those on anti-depressants are liberals, you know.

They're very unhappy. Who can blame them?

The latest survey, 2003/04, suggests that 35.6% of people aged 16-59 in England and Wales have used drugs at some point.

So what's your point Mr. Collins? or do you even have one?

And how is this relevant?

Most would have been using cannabis occasionally at university... so your post is utterly irrelevant and pointless.

The american people are depressed.

And the English people need drugs, but refuse to take them. Hence their shorter life spans and higher incidence of insanity.

WORLD RANKINGS

Once again caught out by your lying!

the US is 26th in life expectancy ... the UK is 21st.

Once again wrong.

Hmm, let's see. How should I cure my depression? I can take a drug or read a book. Hmm.
I think I'll read a book.



What's the matter? You don't like the British "goofy teeth"? It's considered a charm point in Japan you know.

I notice you offer no data supporting your contention, no matter. Your right this topic holds no relevance. It is nothing but more propaganda from a noted anti-american like yourself. So I do consider the source each time I see one of your so called socially impacting posts here.

In the United Kingdom the use of antidepressants increased by 234% in the 10 years up to 2002.[26] In the United States a 2005 independent report stated that 11% of women and 5% of men in the non-institutionalized population (2002) take antidepressants[27] A 1998 survey found that 67% of patients diagnosed with depression were prescribed an antidepressant.[28] A 2007 study purports that 25% of Americans were overdiagnosed with depression, regardless of any medical intervention.[29] The findings were based on a national survey of 8,098 people.

A 2002 survey found that about 3.5% of all people in France were being prescribed antidepressants, compared to 1.7% in 1992, often for conditions other than depression and often not in line with authorizations or guidelines[30] Between 1996 and 2004 in British Columbia, antidepressant use increased from 3.4% to 7.2% of the population[31] Data from 1992 to 2001 from the Netherlands indicated an increasing rate of prescriptions of SSRIs, and an increasing duration of treatment.[32]

Jesus freaks aren't big on living larger than their incomes allow, living to impress others, accumulating huge debt in order to look important, or worshipping money more than God.
