Worry. Anxiety. Depression. These disorders have reached pandemic proportions, afflicting people from all walks of life, worldwide. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, here in America, more than one in four adults (26%) suffer from depression or some form of major anxiety disorder, and 52% all adults take some type of anti-anxiety or anti-depression drug daily, and as more and more continue to face unprecedented challenges, the numbers are rising.

It’s very depressing how fearful our society has become. We are afraid of everything. And, apparently, only communism can save us.
26 percent of all have anxiety or depression
52 percent of all take meds for anxiety or depression.
Someone’s math is off?
I’m going to take a controversial stance here and say:
The pandemic of anxiety is man-made only in small part.
IT’S MOSTLY WOMAN-MADE. (uh-huh uh-huh)
Oh, no. Big pharma works miracles!
Uh oh, Mr. Spock said that in “Wolf in the Fold”
It’s called the Feminization of Society.
I’m not sure that I can wait for the left to die of depression... /s
“...52% all adults take some type of anti-anxiety or anti-depression drug daily, ..”
Then factor in those taking 80 proof “anti-anxiety/anti-depression” medicine and you’ve got damn near 100%! Between personal issues which everyone has, and witnessing the demise of our country it’s overwhelming.
26% are taking meds recreationally, it would seem.
Nothing you say will ever make me watch another episode of Star Trek.
You should watch “Patterns of Force”
Joe Biden is John Gill

Except Joe has no remorse
It’s all the fear porn being force fed all the TV addicts 24/7.
Small wonder.
Now that's depressing, but I'll cheer myself up by looking at my pharmaceutical portfolio.
O LORD, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
many are saying of my soul,
“There is no salvation for him in God. Selah
But you, O LORD, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried aloud to the LORD,
and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah
I lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the LORD sustained me. Psalms 3:1-5
David was being actively pursued by enemies who wanted to kill him. But he slept peacefully, because the Lord sustained Him.
I’d be anxious too if I took an addictive drug that caused me to gain weight and could cause me to kill myself if I quit taking it.
Hunter-gatherers consumed two or three times as much omega-6 as omega-3, but today Westerners consume 15- to 17-times more omega-6 than omega-3.
The researchers investigated the relationship among fatty acid consumption, depression and inflammation in 43 older men and women. The 6 individuals diagnosed with major depression had nearly 18 times as much omega-6 as omega-3 in their blood, compared with about 13 times as much for subjects who didn’t meet the criteria for major depression.
