I think the overprescribing of SSRIs to the millenial generation is one of the least talked about public health issues today. We have an entire generation of kids who were force fed these things from as young as 4 years old. I know because I was one of them. They literally made a Prozac "syrup" for young children, and I was taking it in kindergarten. God knows what all those chemicals did to my developing brain.

- oldsklgdfth 4y agoMy perception (which I would like to correct) is that such trends are mostly isolated to the US and not prevalent in Europe. Ex. over-prescribing based on some recent finding, new diet, new exercise trend, new [insert habit/lifestyle]. Is that the case? I think I assume that it is not "as" intense and people are relatively more in-tune with their bodies. All these behaviors seem to me to be tied with the height we assign to science to tell us how to live our lives.
