Does anyone else find it disturbing that ONE THIRD of all pregnant women in the U.S. are exposed to psychiatric medications during pregnancy??? I don't doubt that mental disorders exist but ONE THIRD of all pregnant women??? That doesn't even include women past childbearing age or children and adolescents.

Our nation is definitely being overmedicated, not just with psychiatric drugs. I'm also bothered by the number of people who take drugs to lower blood pressure, cholesterol, or blood sugar. I have co-workers who are on some of these meds but I see them eating fried chicken for lunch every day. Some people would not need those meds if they adopted a healthier lifestyle. Americans just don't understand the concept of moderation. We seem to treat everything with extreme conservatism or extreme liberalism.
