1 in 5 Americans can expect to get some form of depression in their lifetime.
Now, Im sure theres another debate about over medication in this statistic somewhere, but do you think its true? Or, more generally, do you think drug companies are taking advantage of statistics like these? I think its misleading at least in the fact that some form of depression far from means anything severe, or even drug worthy. And I have to wonder if someone is more likely to go to his or her doctor for medication if they feel like everyone else is doing it already.
