Why is Utah the number one user of prescription drugs/anti depressants?!
Question: I live in Utah, let me first start by saying it's not a bad state to live in, however the mormon church (i'm not one of them) does put alot of pressure on it's members to live an exampilatory lifestyle, most of them are married within 2 years of graduating high school, ( which is how long it takes to go on a mission) after marriage, they usually start having children within the first year, this as you can imagine puts alot of strain on a person, the cost of living is kinda high here, and most new lds moms prefer to be stay at home moms, so that puts the burden of being a 20-21 year old man having to support a family, usually within the next year or two they have another child, and most will continue to have children 2-3 years apart, some families only have 2 kids, most of them in my area have 4-6 kids, all of the moms stay at home raising all those kids, dad is trying to make ends meat, all this usually before they even hit the age of 30...I'd be on anti-depressants, too.

Because they can't drink!
IF this is true, probably because of the high concentrations of mormons. They have lots of rules and restrictions. Everyone knows if they're cheating on the rules, they are very controlling. This could be depressing, cos who can live up to all that?
Jesus came to offer us grace and forgiveness, not a bunch of rules.
