of antidepressants. In fact, in Spain and Portugal, in the last five years, antidepressant
prescriptions have jumped by more than 20%.

are not accidentally: behind the antidepressants exist a giant market. This
market moves billions of dollars each year. So, how to stop these overdose?

Cantopher, consultant psychiatrist with the Priory Group in the UK. "They
were not designed for that. Unhappiness is part of the human condition”
