30 Million Americans On Antidepressants And 21 Other Facts About America’s Endless Pharmaceutical Nightmare

#1 According to the New York Times, more than 30 million Americans are currently taking antidepressants.#2 The rate of antidepressant use among middle aged women is far higher than for the population as a whole. At this point, one out of every four women in their 40s and 50s is taking an antidepressant medication.#3 Americans account for about five percent of the global population, but we buy more than 50 percent of the pharmaceutical drugs.#4 Americans also consume a whopping 80 percent of all prescription painkillers.#5 It is hard to believe, but doctors in the United States write 259 million prescriptions for painkillers each year. Prescription painkillers are some of the most addictive legal drugs, and our doctors are serving as enablers for millions up0n millions of Americans that find themselves hooked on drugs that they cannot kick.#6 Overall, pharmaceutical drug use in America is at an all-time high. According to a study conducted by the Mayo Clinic, nearly 70 percent of all Americans are on at least one prescription drug, and 20 percent of all Americans are on at least five prescription drugs.#7 According to the CDC, approximately 9 out of every 10 Americans that are at least 60 years old say that they have taken at least one prescription drug within the last month.#8 In 2010, the average teen in the United States was taking 1.2 central nervous system drugs. Those are the kinds of drugs which treat conditions such as ADHD and depression.#9 A very disturbing Government Accountability Office report found that approximately one-third of all foster children in the United States are on at least one psychiatric drug.#10 An astounding 95 percent of the “experimental medicines” that the pharmaceutical industry produces are found not to be safe and are never approved. Of the remaining 5 percent that are approved, we often do not find out that they are deadly to us until decades later.#11 One study discovered that mothers that took antidepressants during pregnancy were four times more likely to have a baby that developed an autism spectrum disorder.#12 It has been estimated that prescription drugs kill approximately 200,000 people in the United States every single year.#13 An American dies from an unintentional prescription drug overdose every 19 minutes. According to Dr. Sanjay Gupta, accidental prescription drug overdose is “the leading cause of acute preventable death for Americans”.#14 In the United States today, prescription painkillers kill more Americans than heroin and cocaine combined.#15 According to the CDC, approximately three quarters of a million people a year are rushed to emergency rooms in the United States because of adverse reactions to pharmaceutical drugs.#16 The number of prescription drug overdose deaths in the United States is five times higher than it was back in 1980.#17 A survey conducted for the National Institute on Drug Abuse found that more than 15 percent of all U.S. high school seniors abuse prescription drugs.#18 More than 26 million women over the age of 25 say that they are “using prescription medications for unintended uses“.#19 If all of these antidepressants are helping, then why are more Americans killing themselves? The suicide rate for Americans between the ages of 35 and 64 increased by nearly 30 percent between 1999 and 2010. The number of Americans that die by suicide is now greater than the number of Americans that die as a result of car accidents every year.#20 Antidepressant use has been linked to mass shootings in America over and over and over again, and yet the mainstream media is eerily quiet about this. Is it because they don’t want to threaten one of their greatest sources of advertising revenue?#21 The amount of money that the pharmaceutical industry is raking in is astronomical. It has been reported that Americans spent more than 280 billion dollars on prescription drugs during 2013.Read More @ http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/30-million-americans-on-antidepressants-and-21-other-facts-about-americas-endless-pharmaceutical-nightmare

I totally agree that the pharmaceutical industry should be set on its' ear. Every time I went to the doctor for awhile, the doctor was always saying "you need this medicine". Sometimes I would fill the scrip but before I actually started taking it I would check the medicine out thoroughly out on the internet, and when I read all the contraindications, I ended up looking up natural things that could accomplish what the drug was supposed to do and would cure myself. When my middle son was murdered awhile back and I was having extreme trouble dealing with it, my doctor put me on Prozac. It was the worse thing I had ever taken. It totally rendered me a useless mess. I could not sleep right, I was messed up completely, I could not feel anything at all, was like a walking zombie, could not even do the everday stuff right, like cook, clean, etc, would keep nodding off in the chair...After about 5 months I took myself off it and then I was finally able to reenter the realm of the living and mourn and go forward. I am sure if I had continued to take that drug that I would have killed myself for sure, it made my depression soo much worse. These statistics do not surprise me at all...The whole medical profession should spend their time teaching people how to heal themselves and not be legal drug pushers....Yes there are vital medicines out there that can be beneficial but the whole drug culture where they invent diseases just to invent a medicine to "cure" it is ridiculous, and have you noticed that they take a drug off the market because it is not safe, then put the same drug on the market to have it curing something else???? A seizure medicine I was on was taken off the market because it was killing people and within a couple of months it came back out again with the same formula and ingredients and was then being marketed as a fibromyalgia drug....and before it was used as a seizure medicine it was hyped as a medicine for neuropathy. What's up with that? ...People better wake up and figure this out or this whole upcoming generation is going to be a loss, and many of them will be dead very prematurely....

This really is a very sad world we live in...taking these drugs sure lowers your vibes and the side affects must be effecting your behaviour and personality
Krishna Kalki September 6, 2014 at 8:15pm

This figure is for America alone but what about the rest of the World ?
Probably millions and millions are hooked on drugs by the Pharmaceutical Mafia industries
Krishna Kalki September 6, 2014 at 8:04pm

The Pharmaceutical industry is a billion making machine.
Their motive to make drugs is to make money from suckers and get them hooked also giving most suckers side effects so they are hooked on more drugs.
When I see photos of the big bosses in the billionaire/millionaire list I feel like shooting the bastards as they have made money by targeting the innocent and making their conditions worse.
The only way is not to feed these bastards and look for alternative cures which have no side effects.
For ascension and awakening on of the big change we need on this Planet is to burn the Pharmaceutical down from the roots and terminate it for good along with those involved so the shape up or ship out

That's a real cool comment.
We should make big posters and leaflets if this and stick the posters in all the cities and towns in America then perhaps the Americans will stop taking drugs

This problem is all in the west culture. People are like children, they do not want to take responsibility for their health, they want daddy the doctor to tell them what to swallow...it is a problem and all the culture promotes this attitude towards doctors, For example, my brother got prostate cancer that it is not lethal in most cases.He goes to the doctor, the doctor says do radiation and chemo. He does, when nothing improves, he gets desperate and tries to find other alternatives- but it is too late, because of the radiation treatments ruin the immune system and nothing will work after it- now he is dead. Here in Israel too many are on anti depressant drugs from child to elder (children with ADD that the teacher does not want them running around the class and elders that cannot cope with the insane environment we live ect.)- i have a cousin who is a pharmacist in a chain store and the rate is alarming.

I was very sick not long ago, went here to 3 doctors- i swear no one of those 3 even touched me! all their concern was to type and print medicines and tests for 3 weeks from the date i am sick (they get paid for arranging the tests+ prescriptions, but do not get payed if you do not come back to him for checkup on a term of 3 months) - those poor doctors are also victims of the system in their knowledge and they do not know better and the ones that do know- or they find a way out of this system to help people, or they succumb to the system and become victims of the pharma too.it is indeed a very sad situation to betray the vows like that.

..there is a good reason why most Amerikan's diet is called SAD( standart amerikan diet ) ............because it is a sad diet and lifestyle.
- Marique > Michael September 6, 2014 at 4:34am
  
  I totally agree Michael...The diet, the lifestyle, the values, the pharmaceuticals...Americans need a total overhaul.
  - Michael > Marique September 6, 2014 at 6:15am
    
    times are changing, health foods and natural living is making a come back, away from decadence Amerika stands for, more so its peoples. More and more folks start to believe in natural order of things, away from S.A.D. and towards happy............it will take diet change, attitude adjustment from redneck amerikana to glorious compassionate humans , from racist to embracing fellow brothers and sisters , away from what ever theit TV, Press and internet tells them to do and those poisons like pharma...................Times are changing and folks begin to move away from stupified standards Amerika represent..................
