Have we reigned in the number of perscriptions?

Because the 1 in 10 stat I find seems a bit low, at least in my circle, and those are the ones who are open about it.

And the people I know have been on them approximately a decade. What baffles me is that a fair number of them triggered their own depressive episodes, and likely did need therapy and something at the time - but have all long since move past those "moments".

I am not sure, but recommendations to prescribe in mild cases have quietly been reigned in a bit by e.g. NICE https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng222/chapter/Recommendatio....
