   USE OF ANTI DEPRESSIVE DRUGS DOUBLED

   Norwegians’ use of anti depressive drugs has been doubled in ten years. The increase has been most pronounced in the use of the so - called «Happy Pills», new products, also called SSRI - preparations.
   - One should generally speaking, be critical towards such a major increase in use of drugs, but I won’t go as far as claiming the drugs are used wrong.
   This says Thor Rogan, sub director of the Norwegian department of Health, in a statement.
