FREEDOM. PROGRESS.
In our degenerate age, many more people are undergoing cancer treatment than ever before! A clear signal that our bodily health is getting ever-worse!
The relevant question, of course, is “in other times and places, how many people were suffering in such a way that they would have benefited from taking antidepressants?” (Also, I suppose, “how many of those people would have been women in their 40s and 50s?”)
This is, of course, not the sort of question for which useful data can be found. But I certainly have my suspicions.
