New figures I have obtained under freedom of information paint a troubling picture of the mental well-being of people in part of Wales and northern England.
It may be the recession, but I suspect the statistics showing very high levels of anti-depressant use in those regions have more complex origins.
The new numbers also show yet another increase in prescribing pills like Prozac, despite national guidance advocating alternative treatments - up 3.15% in Wales and 3.64% in England during 2008."
