If America is the richest nation, why are most Americans on antidepressants?

Answer 1

Because the employers (mainly the Industrial sector) put them through HELL AND BACK!....and our government OFFICIALS allow that to happen, because its in there best interest!...Therefore causing the employee to seek outside council or anti depressant drugs to compensate for the too fast cultural change in the work environment...due to greed in upper management pressure on the ones below!......That's why America is RICH!....BOOM!

Unfortunately, the the working class have to suffer for the ones above.....DAM....I ask myself...Why do I even vote for these Bast_rds.

Answer 2

We are affluent, but not the richest nation,we don't even have the richest man(mexico) or woman. we do have the richest government because of taxation. And Most americans are not on antidepressants. But those that are surely only take them to feel good, because suffering is allmost allways a state of mind and access to mood altering drugs is a capitalist windfall. Every nation has their own mood enhancers from opium to cocaine to glue, weed, and even gasoline.It seems your question wants to say that americans misery is because of her success, and It appears to me that the reverse may be true. That some misery is magnified by the want of more stuff, And that makes some people unhappy.I for one do not wish to win the lottery so I can buy great stuff for me. I want to win so I can help others attain unsuffering. I only take up 12 square feet at any one time,you too...so why the 5.000 square house? the speed limit maximum in the U.S. is 75/80? why do we build a car that goes over that limit?How can we spend hundreds of billions on military issues while our music classes go unfunded...This is where most unhappiness comes from, Knowing a way to enlightenment but not getting access when we get there. And the best "pill" for this is not a pill...it is patience

Answer 3

Because they've been told that America is "bad" over and over and over again and they believe it...because government is spinning out of control....because "being nice and caring" is more important than common sense...because they don't take responsibility for their own lives and actions and are waiting for a government bail-out of their lives...I could go on but you get the idea...not to mention that they are told they are "depressed" every time they have a bad day and almost everyone in the world fits the profile of depression if they tell their feelings to their doctors, who then immediately prescribe antidepressants they don't need.
