Are too many Americans taking anti-depressants? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Dr. Charles Barber, author of Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry is Medicating a Nation. Between 1998 and 2002, the use of antidepressants rose by half. In 2006, over 227 million antidepressant prescriptions were dispensed in the U.S. Americans buy two-thirds of the world’s antidepressants. How do we know when a drug is over-prescribed? Has the promise of a simple cure pathologized normal sadness? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.
