An increase in the number of people taking antidepressants isn’t some big societal failure – it’s far more complex than that.
, I do think it’s time we stopped treating antidepressants as a black or white issue.
An increase in the number of people taking antidepressants isn’t a huge societal failure or a cause for celebration: it’s just a fact. Just like there is a myriad of reasons why people take medication in the first place, there is also a myriad of reasons why this increase might have come about – and simplifying it as ‘bad’ or ‘concerning’ fails to acknowledge this fact.
If we want to move forward when it comes to conversations about mental health, we need to stop pretending that the solution is simple and start treating it like the complex thing it is. We cannot rely on antidepressants to solve this country’s mental health crisis – but we also mustn’t forget the lifesaving impact they can have.
