I just discovered that a large share of the American population is on psychiatric medications.
This appears to be widespread in Italy too, I read somewhere that 20% of the population used them.

This makes me curious, is there a lot of people here who take these medications?
I never did, but I do know some friends who do.

I created a survey just because, but it would be nice if you also write something about your experience and why you think that the use of these medicines is so widespread.
