A generation medicated with antidepressants is looking for ways to stop taking them: one in six adults in the United States takes them.

Approximately one in six adults in the United States currently takes antidepressant medication, leading to a growing movement among this medicated generation to find ways to safely discontinue use. This phenomenon is highlighted by personal experiences, such as that of Cameron LaBar, who began showing high sensitivity and emotional perception during his childhood in Southern California.

The widespread reliance on antidepressants in the United States underscores a broader cultural and medical shift as individuals who grew up on these medications now navigate the complexities of tapering off and managing their mental health independently.
