Excellent and thank you for sharing this James! Slowly but surely, the truth is being revealed - the general public absolutely deserves and needs to know.
It irks me so much how the U.K. Health Secretary’s warning patients of the risk of “dependance”, then just turns into “addiction” language shortly after in the report. Sick and tired of the use of addiction based language being included in these report types... I’ve been actively listening to it for over a decade now... 🙄 If having one’s brain physiologically altered by a chemical compound prescribed/issued at the word of someone else who’s supposed to know better is done... then how on Earth does that that make the one being prescribed an “addict” that’s “addicted” to something? Wish they would stop using it in the content of these reports...it’s not psychological addiction that’s happening here... it’s physiological dependance. This wasn’t done by the patient... it was done to the patient. It was done to me.

Well put. 'hooked on' is used as well.
Yup... addiction language... drives me nuts.
"in the 90s and all the GPs were encouraged and incentivised to start people on antidepressants..." . Is that still the case?
