Unemployment, Anti-Depressant Use Related (for 12/27/11)

Americans have turned more often to anti-depressants and high-blood pressure medication as the unemployment rate has risen over the last five years. Drug company ads are another cause of higher prescription use. The high amount of foreclosed homes and lack of jobs have caused a spike in compulsive behavior. Problems realted to gambling, drinking, depression, and anxiety have soared as the economy soured. The long, slow recovery is another contributing factor. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/27/stress-medication-unemployment_n_1171125.html?ref=business
