Well, there _is_ in Holland, but I’m always amazed at how openly Americans tend to speak about their medication. It’s a lot more commonplace over there, compared to Europe.

Mind you, I don’t exactly _agree_ with the -at times- apparent random attitude a doctor will prescribe anti-depressants (a logical result of the US health care system, I guess), but it DOES make it a much more open topic over there. Here in Holland, speaking about ones medication is something done with family and close friends, but most people would avoid mentioning it around people they don’t trust or know very well.

Veel succes ermee, **kaas**.
