On the news here in Sweden they said more than 5 million people (half the population) in Sweden take at least some kind of medicine EVERY DAY!
Is the situation the same in England? What do you think/know about this?
Are more than 23 million people (half the population) in England taking medicine each day?

I should think that more than half of Stokes’s fans are on antidepressants Musik. 😁 |

No. And not herbs, coffee, tobacco, illegal drugs, sugar or toxic mushrooms, glue or bathing salt. Just what doctors prescribe, excluding physical activity. |

In the Uk it’s twice that for some reason. Maybe it’s the shitty weather, or perhaps the Drs are trigger happy with the prescription pad. By that token though I’d guess that there must be at least half the population taking some kind of meds. |

When people hit 50 things start going wrong. High blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar. So yes, I would imagine the number is high.

When the ex was a manager, the vast majority of the 25-30 supervisors she had working for her were on the happy pills*, that was about 15 years ago, big pharma have a huge influence on the doctors it seems, at around £9 for a prescription they're bound to really, huge sums of money involved. *they did live in East Anglia to be fair, it should be taken into account  |
