Have we (the U.S.) actually become a 'Prozac Nation'?
Maybe not Prozac, but there are so many who are on antidepressants of some kind. Seeking help for depression and/or other mental illnesses is more acceptable now than it was when our parents were our age. So more people are getting the help they need, myself included.

It seems like so because more & more people here in the US are becoming wrongfully diagnosed as bipolar. That’s an overrated medical diagnosis if you ask me. We all have our ups & downs in life. We, girls & women, feel dysphoric sometimes shortly before our menstrual cycle begins, & that’s part of our hormones.
During puberty, teens, both boys & girls go through mood changes because of hormones, peer pressure, & other issues.

This nation is on a pharmaceutical leash.
It’s not just prozac, and it is really just barely worse than street drugs….something to drown out every emotion or possibility of confronting ones own issues. Dontcha know it’s the American Way!

Judging by the number of anti-depressant medications dispensed in the US for children grown-ups and even dogs, I would have to say that we are indeed the Prozac Nation.
