Ten procent of the Belgian population is on antidepressants

A recent news article stated that 1.1 million Belgians are on antidepressants, there are little over 11 million Belgians... The price of these vile drugs was dropped by ten procent to bait more weak fish... Unbelievable, ten procent, how sad is that? The problem I have with these drugs is, they have a small side effect that cause people on them to go on... violent rampages like shootings (This website SSRI stories features over 4800 cases where people on SSRI's exhibited extreme violence, including 66 School shootings... good luck with that gun control Obama...). What kind of messed up side effect is that... and why is it being muted in the media...

From 2011 to compare here are antidepressant stats from the US: "The report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics found that 11 percent of Americans over the age of 12 takes an antidepressant, with about 14 percent taking the medication for more than 10 years."

But hey psychiatry, let's not work on causes or helping people through it, let's ignore Neurolinguistic Programming exists which can erase some traumas in a half hour session, let's not be responsible for our own consciousness and just take pills, cause goddamn those drugs must make you so... much... money. You have to hope that this isn't the death of the mental health sector, which to be fair never really was alive. I'd rather have ten procent of the population work on their problems actively WITHOUT having the increased chance that they go on a violent rampage causing more mental health problems in the world. What a world...
