b"There are alot of prescription drugs being prescribed but there is no need to be panicked by the headlines. This is just sensationalist as the next thing you read is that we are on 'potentially' addictive medication in contrast to the title! Furthermore antidepressants which up to 25% of the population may be put on at some point are not addictive. This is because although they do have a short withdrawal syndrome (often mild if at all but rarely severe) this is touted by the media as being additive. The fact is there is no craving and they are not medications of instant gratification such as substances of addiction.
The fact is is that society is increasingly unhealthy of people. Suicide has gone up 40% in America in 20 years and after years of reduction is having an uptick in the UK. Poverty and social disintegration is to blame. Brexit is clearly going to cause social and economic upheaval. People like James o Brien and building their careers on stating the obvious and belittling those who think emotionally and cannot explain the crucial importance if brexit which is about maintaining our national and individual identities rather than further swirling down the plug hole of political correctness instant gratification and increasing social and ethnic divides. Of course those running the country almost lack the insight to capitalise on the psychological/social/economic opportunities for good that Brexit will provide. We also discuss how to create a legacy. The short answer is that you will fail if that is your goal."
