Some 40% of women are on these anti-depressants, and increasing!

When (if the trend continues) a majority of women are diagnosed as “depressed” is that a clinical diagnosis of an actual affliction - or is it just being a woman in modern America where any complaint to a physician elicits a prescription?

We have entered the Age of Irresponsibility.

Nothing is anyone’s fault. There is no bad or sinful behaviour. Everything is a medical problem.

Back in my Crusading Reporter days, had a number of medical sources. A number of psychiatrists and psychologists, even then, said that many of their patients were “cringing whiners.”

Back then, they got guidance, encouragement, set goals and deadlines, etc.

Now, they get a pill that has proved ineffective!
