It's not surprising that the U.S. tops the rates. Mental illness doesn't carry enough social stigma in the U.S.
It's cute that psychologists/psychiatrists are concerned: Newsflash: Most people lead shitty lives and are better off indulging in alcohol, drugs, religion, psychology and other compulsive behaviors than dealing with reality.

A friend of mine had had a rough time: he lost a parent, then lost his job. Thereafter, he began seeing a shrink for depression and was prescribed prozac. He lost his ability to get a boner, gained 30 pounds and slept 14 hours a day. Real success story there.
Bottom line: we need more people taking more drugs.
