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?

1) A lot of ppl got "into" therapy in the 1970s & later, I think; this, in spite of the fact that MOST ppl doing "the talking cure" with a therapist get over what brought them there.

2) Idk if it is drugs for mental problems, but SOME chemicals in city water supplies ARE from ppl putting unused/expired medications down the sink or toilet. Many places now have designated places/schedules for dropping off expired pills, and we just had a national day for doing this, to raise awareness of it.
