Nearly 13% Of Americans Over The Age Of 12 Are On Antidepressants, And White Women Are The Most Likely To Take Them
The rapid rise of antidepressant use leaves many people wondering why there is one demographic in particular that is so much more likely to take the medication than others.
More people than ever in the U.S. are struggling with a mental health disease. Depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders are on the rise, while many celebrities and influencers make an entire platform about mental health awareness. Meanwhile, the most common response to this widespread issue is pharmaceuticals, with very little attention paid to lifestyle, diet, endocrine disruptors, etc. Many times, when people even bring up the importance of a healthy lifestyle in regard to mental health, they are dismissed and chastised for even suggesting that mental wellness can be treated naturally.
