The number of antidepressant prescriptions is soaring
More than 8M of them last year in the UK alone – an 8% increase since 2019. 23% of women, 12% of men take them. Worryingly 2/3 have been taking them for more than a year. What to do?
‘New national guidance urges GPs to stop writing repeat prescriptions for those who have become dependent on common medications.
The NHS England plan, which aims to avoid a US-style opioid crisis, recommends that patients be sent to art, music or gardening classes instead of being prescribed painkillers such as tramadol or codeine. The health service will also set up support groups and clinics to help people to come off prescription drugs and manage withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia.’
Sounds good. Do we have a plan to find out why so many people are prescribed them in the first place? Prevention has to be better than care.
Over 8M adults are taking more than five pills a day, thousands end up in hospital due to side-effects too. ‘The NHS says 10 per cent of prescriptions, costing up to £1 billion a year, are not needed’. Criminal, in so many ways. Full article from The Times here.
Love this very green breakfast:
Juice – apple, lemon, ginger, turmeric, spinach, filtered water.
Toast – sliced avocado, with olive oil, salt and black pepper, on wholemeal bread.
Well it is Springtime!
‘Sulforaphane is a naturally occurring compound in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and kale. It’s activated only when vegetables are chopped or chewed. The highest levels of sulforaphane are found in raw vegetables’. Healthline.
Why should we eat it? Many reasons. One of which is shown in this research paper: ‘A comprehensive diet rich in fruit and vegetables can reduce the risk of breast cancer by up to 30%.’ ‘Epidemiological studies indicate that in particular vegetables from the Brassicaceae family are a rich source of chemo-preventive substances, with sulforaphane (SFN) being one of the most widely studied and characterised.’
