Antidepressants are now some of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the UK and US, say the authors. “In the UK, usage has risen since 2000 by 170%, with over seven million adults (16% of the English adult population) being prescribed an antidepressant in England alone last year,” says the review.

Surprising that there aren’t more cases of PSSD being reported with this large of a percentage of the population on ADs.

Also would have been nice if they bothered to mention PSSD.

Good article nonetheless and a good sign that steps are being taken to address the issue.
