In the continuing story of Americans beings over-drugged and over-medicated are antidepressants. The use has tripled over last 25 years to as high as 1 in 12 americans. There are no long-term studies on the drugs and their interactions. They are often given for vague reasons and long-term side effects poorly understood. Antidepressants were originally considered a short-term fix to use during difficult times, but the industry has evolved and normalized into a dependency model.
