According to the Center for Disease Control, 1 out of every 10 Americans suffer from depression. By 2020, depression is expected to be the second leading cause of disability in the world. 2
With billions of dollars spent on antidepressants annually, the use of medication has gone up by 400%,4 and 11% of Americans from as early as 12 years are now taking antidepressant medication.4
Research reveals that 90% of those taking medication, experience at least one serious side effect5-10—these can include anxiety, constipation, thoughts of suicide, insomnia, and weight gain.6-10 Recent research has also reported an association between the use of taking antidepressants while pregnant and the risk of autism for the child.11 One extremely common side effect that afflicts as many as 73% of the individuals taking antidepressants: sexual dysfunction.10
