Armstrong Economics- Antidepressant Prescription Sales Spike
In addition to the billions Big Pharma made on COVID-related drugs and vaccines, they have also profited from COVID restrictions deteriorating the public’s mental health. In mid-June 2020, when many restrictions began to ease, SingleCare reported a 50% increase in antidepressant medication. The same increase was reported during the third week of March when lockdowns began. “Between the concern over job loss, isolation, and general anxiety, this growing trend in antidepressants over the past few months may well be due to the pandemic’s impact on mental health,” Ramzi Yacoub, Pharm.D., the chief pharmacy officer at SingleCare stated. Insurance and pharmaceutical companies believe the need for prescription drugs will only continue. Thanks to COVID, antidepressants are now the most prescribed medication in the US and the second-most prescribed medication in Canada.
Not me. I get high on blogging.
Yup.
Karen went running to the shelter of her mother’s little helper.
How valley of the dolls.
It’s the 12 Stepford way.
Me, I like whiskey.
And love my whiskey imbibing wife.
But remember: its for your health.
Vitamin D, works great, and a side effect? Nature’s anti-depressant
Interesting. Based on old SDAer Loki’s recommendation (whatever happened to him, anyway?) I’ve been meagdosing on Vitamin D daily for years for joint stiffness in winter. Despite what should have been devastating isolation (I’m an extrovert, I’ve been working from home and every single member of my friends and family decided to hide under the bed for two years) I’ve been doing all right.
Moderate to vigorous exercise is extremely helpful (anything that makes you breathe fairly heavily).
I am currently on my fourteenth (14) different anti-depressant, over the past couple of decades, and they have have ranged from useless to slightly effective (they work great for a few lucky people.)
Anti-depressants are wonderful for overworked family doctors who just want to get their patients out of their hair for a couple of months.
Read LOST CONNECTIONS and it will explain antidepressant’s and pharma. That book was one of the reasons, no vaxx for me.
Wow. There must be a lot of happy people out there now, or at least undepressed.
L – Surrendering the responsibility of being an autonomous adult, with an accurate map of your world. Now turning into a toddler, one so frightened of a invisible, silent, omnipresent threat.
Everywhere on your map of the world, it now reads “Here be Dragons,”. Venturing outside is risky. The required protection smothers you and lowers your blood oxygen level. It gives you
bad breath and masks identity and even humanity itself. Are those coming towards you
humans, androids, zombies ? Most likely zombies !!!
Big Daddy Pharma will induce zombie mind control in you, too. So you can fit right in to the mass…formation.
I live in the real world, I recognize fear mongering for the propaganda that it is.
I’m not depressed, I’m ANGRY!
Don’t worry, there’s a drug for that
yes. it’s actually the mother’s little helper pill!
What’s better than taking a pill everyday for the rest of your life?? How about 3 drugs?, then 2 more because the first 3 don’t work , then 3 more to handle the side effects of the first 5.
There is no magic pill.
If life sucks, do something to make it suck less.
Learning how to say no to the government will go a long way to improving one’s mental health.

No, the pursuit of happiness is near impossible considering a government who’s put a HARD bootheel down on your freedom to do so.
