10% of adults 'on antidepressants'


(UKPA) – 1 hour ago



One in 10 adults in Scotland are thought to be on antidepressants, according to official figures.

The volume of prescribed medicines increased by 7.6% in a year, from 4.01 million items in 2008-9 to 4.31 million items in 2009-10.

Statistics published by health service data collection body ISD Scotland showed the total has increased from 2.77 million 10 years ago. The Scottish Government had set a target to stop the rise by 2009-10 and prepare the ground for a 10% reduction in future years.
