Feds say 1 in 10 Americans on anti-depressants. Not a good sign. This is not a time in American history for any of us to be numbing our pain

@marwilliamson I am a fan, but to say those taking anti-depressants are "numbing their pain" is a callous and overly generalized statement.

@APRILWILKNER I made no such blanket statement. I do not believe that 1 in 10 Americans would be diagnosed as clinically depressed.

@marwilliamson Your words were still insensitive, overly vague & hurtful 2 ppl who admire you. Worst part? You can't just say "Sorry".

@APRILWILKNER How can I apologize for something I didn't say? I never made a blanket condemnation of psychotherapeutic drugs, nor would I.

1 in 10 Americans SHOULD be depressed, or at least pissed off :) (She is right that doctors make blanket diagnosis...)
