How Much Coverage Has Anti-Depressant Use Recieved in Last 10 Yrs? How Many Studies/movies/media Released?
Question by Erin D: How much coverage has anti-depressant use recieved in last 10 yrs? How many studies/movies/media released?

We will let people die in the gutter before we force them into treatment…
We are a sad and convoluted country…
