Day 2 of the challenge, the tracking app is having problem but when it is back up I can record the 135 from yesterday and today's total tonight when I am done.

In 2018-2019, 17.1% of Australians received a prescription for a mental health medication. The vast majority of these (~80%) were for anti-depressants, which were used by around 3 million Australians. So what is an anti-depressant medication? The most common anti-depressants work by increasing the availability of neurotransmitters, which affect how our nerves communicate with each other in our brains and all over our bodies. Neurotransmitters affect many parts of our lives, from our mental health, to our guts, to how we feel pain. So, even though these medications are technically called anti-depressants, they have been used for a wide range of health conditions.
