According to the Centers for Disease Control

During 2015–2018 (most recent survey), 13.2% of Americans aged 18 and over reported taking antidepressant medication in the past 30 days. Antidepressant use was higher among women than men in every age group. Use increased with age, in both men and women. Almost one-quarter

of women aged 60 and over (24.3%) took antidepressants.

IF YOU ARE ON MEDICATION PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP YOUR MEDICATION COLD TURKEY. TALK TO YOUR PRESCRIBER ABOUT GETTING OFF THEM USING A SLOW TAPER. I AM NOT A DOCTOR, PSYCHIATRIST, or TRAINED THERAPIST; THESE ARE THE OPINIONS OF A SURVIVOR.

 

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911 (or your country's local emergency line) or go to an emergency room.

Be Prepared: Explain that it is a psychiatric emergency and ask for someone who is trained to help with one.
