Question: If things are so great in the U!.S then how come there are a lot of people taking antidepressants!?
Answers:
I think too, Sahara, that it is the Dr partially to blame!. I know that for a certain, they get a kick back, a % when they perscribe one certain drug over another!.
I have been undergoing chemotherapy for over a year!. I see drug sellers come and go!. For awhile they were on this kick -- EVERYONE has to have either a neupogen or a neulasta shot!. Whichever the ins!. co pays for!. You know what they are for and how expensive they are each!. We take them for a week!. My last wk my cells were 9!.5, the highest EVER!. Yet, I still got the shots ---- go figure!?
And now, all of the sudden, this month, EVERYONE is potassium low, everyone is getting potassium pills!. I hear them in the chemo room telling ea!. of us after seeing the Dr!.-- he thinks your potassium levels are low and you need these pills!. You can't get too much in your blood stream, thank heavens!. And it's the time of year you get cramps from heat if you don't drink enough water too!. So everyone is getting potassium, we're all on those pills right now!.
I wonder didn't a potassium sales rep come in! ;)
When I'm not feeling well, he offers antidepresssant!. I say NO, i want to get over it myself!. Because we stay inside the house all the time and see 4 walls all the time, we get that way!. All it takes is a little car ride outside of the house and we instantly feel better for some reason!. Maybe it's the chemicals inside the home, or just, sunshine outside! But that's how easy it is to get an antidepresant if I wanted it!. I agree w/you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

People aren't as good here with self-awareness and having a philosophical grounding!. Most people on the pills don't need to be!. So much of our society feels it needs a crutch -- but people like my grandfather -- off the boat from Italy -- would NEVER consider taking a pill to make himself happy!.
Speaking of which, there's an annoying belief in our culture that has taken hold -- that everything's okay "as long as you're happy!."
It's a dumb belief -- life is about experiencing and learning from ups and downs!. Not blotting out the down moments with drugs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

technically speaking, the us isn't doing all that well!. and antidepressants aren't used just for depression!. it can be used for other diseases like fibromyaligia and RSD too!. also just becasue there are some depressed people out there, it doesn't mean the us is doing anything wrong!. there is depression in other countries too jsut not as many people deal with it which actually makes things worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
mainly because we are a lazy, selfish ppl who don't appreciate all the freedoms and blessings we have here!. i have lived in other countries and its amazing how clueless and ungrateful americans are and i am one!
let me ask you this: if its so bad then why are ppl from other countries dying to get here!? crossing the borders, taking rafts on the open sea etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The State of the Union has nothing to do with depression!. That is usually caused by the State of Your Mind! The things that are going on in a person's life is what usually causes them to get depressed!. For me, I developed clinical depression when my husband of 22 years divorced me to marry his pregnant g/f!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Doctors receive kickbacks for prescription meds!. The US and possibly European folks are increasingly looking for a quick fix!. Americans, for sure, are less willing to wait for results!. That is part of why our personal debt is so high!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well we may live a great country but everybody and country has their own problems and some people just have different ways of trying to solve them!. Sometimes antidepressants will help and sometimes they won't!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i believe if you take the adult population in the USA, its actually a small minority of people taking anti-depressants!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Some people cannot cope with the busy hectic life success brings and cannot get rid of stress through other means!. They become affected psychologically and end up seeing a Doctor who diagnoses depression!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Because it is easier for them to take antidepressants than solve the problem!. Just like people who take weight loss pills rather than doing exercise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
because we have doctors, and money to do so!. what business is it of yours!?!?!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Because there are even more people who don't take antidepressants!.

Our society relies on instant gratification too much!. You see this in how many drugs people want to take for every problem they have, such as depression, anxiety, diet pills, supplements!. People want fast food to speed things up in their lives!.
We can also blame how our work week as Americans goes though for our reliance on instant gratification!. Compare us to other developed countries, and we have a primitive way of doing things!. Many European countries actually REQUIRE their citizens to take a good month or so off from work, while here we might get 2 weeks if we're lucky!. Also, other countries see work as a side thing to do for someone's life, which may be a person's family, hobbies, or other recreations!. Here, were raised to think that work IS life!. That is the message behind the fabled "American Dream!."Www@Answer-Health@Com
