| Subject: The Joy of Statism: Number of US Antidepressant Users Doubles Tue Aug 04, 2009 9:44 pm | |
| The number of Americans on antidepressants doubled from 1996 to 2005, a new study finds, but fewer are seeing psychiatrists, and most aren’t using the drugs to affect their mood.

But the majority used them to treat pain, fatigue, and other conditions, USA Today reports.
