One in four American women take meds for mental issues?

Well, that pretty explains everything.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to put on my best asbestos suit.

(I’m kidding. Sort of.)

Well, when women are fed a steady diet of "Feeling Sad? There's a pill for that!" on TV, then it's no wonder.

A couple of my family members deal with depression, it's far from a trivial disease. It certainly isn't something that you "just need to get over". However, if you watch ads on the tube, you'd think that "Occasionally Feeling a Little Blah" equates to "Too depressed to get out of bed for a week".

One needs to be be treated, the other is just called life. Wiser people treat the former and deal with the latter, while unwise people escape into a pill bottle, irregardless.

And, I'll don my asbestos suit along with you.

While the men take alcohol, "coke", meth, maryjane, etc. s/off

"Well, that pretty explains everything."

Yes it does; it means that three out of four are not taking their meds.
