America the nation of pill poppers?

Anonmaly
The US has turned into a nation of pill poppers and this isn't more evident with the sprouting of drug stores at every corner. According to the US government anti-depressant use has increased approximately 400 percent among Americans in the past twenty years. The pharmaceutical industry rakes in over $14 billion in sales each year and is the number one cause in accidental death. Marina Portnaya reports.

      Pharmaceutical companies creating a society of hypochondriacs?

      "It seems every time you turn on the television you see an ad for a new drug. The US is the only western country that allows direct to consumer advertising of prescription drugs. These commercials leave many wondering if they are in a state of depression. According to the US government, anti-depressant use has grown about 400 percent among Americans in the past two decades. Many argue that doctors take an oath to give people the best care possible and some of these drugs do more harm than good. Doctor Darcy Smith, a licensed clinical social worker, joins us to discuss this growing trend of pill popping and what we can do to get Americans off meds."
