B. Listen to the second part of the report, focus on the questions and answers.
It's up to doctors to monitor the use of drugs and to be sure they are prescribing them for the right reasons and not to keep patients quiet.
But at the same time, we should recognize drugs can make a big difference and not condemn their increased use, either as a plot by pharmaceutical companies, or as a shortcut by busy doctors.
That doesn't answer the problem of time.
One simple and revolutionary idea has emerged from a doctor in South London.
He was really sick and tired of prescribing anti-depressants for people's loneliness and anxiety and he thought there must be a way we can do something better than this, why aren't we prescribing time?
Sarah Burns is from the New Economics Foundations, a reform group based in London.
She's been working with that doctor and with a growing members of others to develop what's called "Timing Banking."
Patients who need more human contact to help them with their difficulties are linked together by a time broker who involves them in projects to build up time credits.
Where money is short, as in any state-funded health service, this kind of time credit system can bring people with social problems a lot of benefit.
Schemes like that do remind us that chemicals are only part of the answers to social problems, and a well-functioning society must be the background to any therapy.
Loneliness, low self-esteem and anger need to be seen as problems of relationship, not just brain chemistry.
