> Not to target any groups here, but I think there is a huge overlapping problem between disability, antidepressant prescription, and the growing problem with long term unemployment and social security overuse.
Here in Norway are 9,4 % of the people from 18 - 67 years old on disability benefit. 11,1 % of women and 7,8 % of men.
This is the official statistics:

> To put it simply. One loses their job, they get shoved on paxil and zyprexa to help with a natural depressive response. They become apathetic and insulin resistant. They become less motivated to get off the system and find a job. Then they qualify for disability as their depression worsens and they have developed diabetes and it all spirals downward.

Inactivity is very bad for mental disorders. Being without a job for a long time will
undoubtedly worsen depression, so if the antidepressants pacify it could end up being a trap.- doxogenic
