Why are so many teens on anti-depressants now?
Posted by admin on December 4, 2008
At my high school, there are so many people on antidepressants and ADHD medication.
Sometimes they joke about how they feel when they forget a dose.
My brother is on an antidepressant and I am contemplating taking one as well. My mom thinks I need one to control my social anxiety, and I agree now. I can’t write my notes because I can’t stop shaking in class. I was bullied every day.
I was prescribed Prozac a few months ago but I never filled the prescription. But now I see how many people are on antidepressants, I think it will be more “normal” for me to take the medicine. Sometimes my brother gets the brain zaps though and I worry I will get these too.
I don’t think we have much reason to be happy. We have to get up at about 5:30am to catch the bus. It is dark and cold out. Then we are under cameras all day, and we have to work nonstop or we will get detention.
I go to a public high school in Virginia. It is over capacity. It has 1500 students but it is only supposed to have about 1000.
