In the 60s, people too LSD to make the world seem weird.
Now they take Prozac to make it seem normal.

More than one in four American women took at least one drug for conditions like anxiety and depression last year, according to an analysis of prescription data. And I hear that 75% of women with mental disorders go undiagnosed ...

She goes running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper. And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day.

One in four American women take meds for mental issues?
Well, that pretty explains everything.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to put on my best asbestos suit.
(I’m kidding. Sort of.)

Doctors should be required to disclose to patients what drug stocks they own.
Also a good example of what hell feminism unleashed on American women.

who was treated for a form of bipolar disorder earlier this year due to the stress Is is a disorder to be depressed and under stress when your husband is facing death?
Seems like that might be a typical reaction to me.
Depression is not necessarily a "disorder" (and yes I am including the kind where you want to lay in bed for a few days). Emotions can be extremely negative at times. That doesn't mean you're going crazy.

You preferred the “good ol’ days” when people used alcohol or “the sweet juice of the poppy” to deal with it?

“More than one in four” - OK. What? Six....seven? Must be British math.

Why so few? There are so many more that need help. (Duck and cover)

Well, when women are fed a steady diet of "Feeling Sad? There's a pill for that!" on TV, then it's no wonder.
A couple of my family members deal with depression, it's far from a trivial disease. It certainly isn't something that you "just need to get over". However, if you watch ads on the tube, you'd think that "Occasionally Feeling a Little Blah" equates to "Too depressed to get out of bed for a week".
One needs to be be treated, the other is just called life. Wiser people treat the former and deal with the latter, while unwise people escape into a pill bottle, irregardless.
And, I'll don my asbestos suit along with you.
