Is it true that there are many people on antidepressants or receiving therapy?

I dismissed this as the anti western nonsense you sometimes hear but a lot of SWers mention it.

Apparently so many Americans are on medication for psychological issues that the chemicals for the drugs are starting to appear in the natural water table there.

If it’s false, we can pin it on the bullshit board. If it’s true, what the hell is wrong with people over there?

I only drink water bottles. They are tested. It's not in the water I Promise.

But yet I am still what you have described above. There is nothing wrong with me. I just have a condition. A disorder if you will. Alot of that comes with depression. And I have to take medication so it helps me with what's going on with me. Americans aren't some crazy pill poppers. But it's best we all search and seek help. There is nothing wrong with that. Some of it comes from trauma. Maybe it's different where you are but we all struggle with our lives. No one is the same. And no one should be looked down for it either.

@ScarletWitch Yes ofcourse. Its not my intention to shame people who need help, but you wonder why it’s so prevalent in a country that had all the benefits of the strongest economy. Why do people apparently have things so good but not be well?

@Lapochka this country was better in the 90s. Now we can't go anywhere without a mask or go on like it used to be. So more people are more depressed and even taken their very lives because of it. It really is a sad country.

@ScarletWitch When you put it like that it sounds crazy. The mask thing is a global challenge. It sounds like westerners are soft people, grown too use to comfort and too fragile to cope with a trial.

@ScarletWitch True. We live here, and we don’t need therapy.
