The drugging of old people is rampant and criminal in our elderly citizen homes. Turns them into zombies they have no need to control. Barbaric medicine.

'Pull yourself together and keep taking the pills'

Me, I'm an old fart, and reading the stupidity of Guardian makes me depressed, so I rail at them, they're assholes too, then I take a generous dose of the perfect anti-depressant depressant, red wine, and go to bed.

Drs know talking therapies don't work in older patients, particularly those with negative lonely depression! Give the money to a younger group with better chances.

Older people's minds have often gone south. Therapy works only for the alert. (Full disclosure: I am an old fart.)

what the government want us to do is when it gets so bad that we get thoughts of suicide they want you to do it Conservatives cos its cheaper for em , their is not 1 compassionate tory in the party ,they give out anti depressants cos its cheaper than a counsellor,THE NASTY PARTY

You can't make therapy abolish the awfulness of living in this abhorrent, dog eat dog society.

Forget drugs and Therapy, Just go out in nature and eat healthy
