Hi everybody, welcome again to heufeblog, a hidden place when you will have fun. Today I’m gonna talk about a piece of news that I read today in “The Guardian”, a british popular newspaper website. It’s about “reboxine”, an antidepressant, and their dangerous effects. But before, I want to make a question…. Why in this society are there so many consumers of antidepressants?. I think people take it as a fact, without questioning it. Well, there are books like "Plato, no Prozac!", but I'm serious. I know that in Chile a lot of studies show that half of the population has used them. I think it’s very serious.
Let´s see the situation in England (remember Chile is called “Latin England” hah). Well, the piece of news states that scientists, of British Medical Journal, say about that drug works no better than a simple placebo, even that could have negative effects on the health of people who consumed it. They also complain that the company manufacturer that distributed the drug (Pfizer) never "notice" about the effects and hid very important information. Also, this scientists say that the manufacturer have financial interests, are more important than the people health. Outstanding but very common….sad but true
