Percentage of people taking medication for mental health

I wonder what percentage of people in my country (Hungary or any other country for that matter) take anti anxiety, antidepression ect. medications.

Recently I've been more open about my condition and medications. In Hungary it's still a taboo to talk about such things, but I belive a lot of people are taking them. I was doing blood donation, filling out the questionnaire. Among the allowed and not allowed medications it was highlighted (bold letters) that you can absolutely donate blood while on anti anxiety and antidepression medications. Furthermore, during examination the doctor was fully aware of the side effects of sertralin (mouth dryness).

From this, I conclude they often encounter this. What is you experience?

Do you donate blood?

Since no one knows exactly what causes fibromyalgia, how do you feel about donating blood? I've never done it but want to. I'm just not sure if I should be worried about my condition being passed on. #Fibromyalgia #ChronicIllness #InvisibleIllness #blooddonation
