In England, antidepressant usage has hit an all-time high.
But they are far from a one-size-fits-all solution.
SSRIs take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months + to have an effect.
And often, time isn't something that those battling with their mental health have in abundance.

In the US, anxiety disorders affect approximately 40 million adults, or 18% of the population.
Only around a third of these people receive any treatment.
Without treatment, most anxiety disorders persist indefinitely.
