news.com.au — Anti-depressants are the most commonly purchased government-subsidised medication by young Australian women, nudging out the contraceptive pill. A 20-year study of more than 40,000 women - divided into younger, middle-aged and older age groups - released a report today detailing use between 2003-05 of government-subsided medications.

So Australian women are pill popping addicts FTW. "The Federal Government's women's health strategy will be based on the principles of gender equality, health equity between women and a focus on prevention.".. what exactly does that mean..? Maybe it means they will spend less on women's health care seeing as they spend more on that than they do on men's health care. I don't understand how this ever helps men or woman.<a class="user" href="http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24807858-421,00.html">http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24807858-421, ...</a>Another link for girl power (from the same site as the news story).. it gets you reduced prison sentences.. all you have to do is utter the magic words.

Dugg for pointing out the hypocrisy.

I'd imagine there would be a little bit of an inverse relationship between contraceptive medication use and anti-depressant use among women..
