Damn, they can't win, can they? First it's millions of gallons of crude and now antidepressants.

I heard somewhere that since women are on the pills, then release the oestrogenes when peeing, now fish have mood swings. Or boobs.

I forgot which.

I do understand that there are people out there that are indeed clinically, medically depressed.

I am thoroughly frightened of "Big Pharma" and their ability to market their products the way they do.



The fact that these drugs are overprescribed is undeniable, and now we are seeing environmental effects?



(Take into account that I blame antidepressants, specifically Zoloft and Paxil, for at least part of my first divorce - my wife was sad [my fault, admittedly], and instead of talking things out with me, she went to her doctor who prescribed first Zoloft, then Paxil. Instead of getting better, both made the situation WORSE. Misprescription of antidepressants by unqualified practitioners should be against the law - worse things than unnecessary divorces have occurred because of them.)

Maybe it'll take their mind off the oil they're swimming in.

You know what I saw on TV the other day? An advertisement for a pill to treat the side-effects of your anti-depressant.

Zoloft making you depressed? Here, take this too. Don't mind the rectal bleeding.

Yup, the absurdity just keeps getting even more and more absurd. Absurd, isn't it?
