Statin denial, death and depression

Our stats tell us that articles we publish on statins are amongst the most widely viewed and shared. So with a massive attack on UK ‘statin deniers’ – we have responded. The article I’ve penned is intended especially for those over-50s who are undecided but have had their doctors tell them they should take a statin – for life. 

If you are about informed choice – please share it. Our ability to share information freely on the Internet is already being limited – so it’s time to use the share tools we offer you on our website for all their worth. Thank you in anticipation.

Our second piece, ably written by our trusty communications and outreach officer, Melissa Smith, reflects on the rising incidence of depression among generation Z, the first generation to be truly born into the digital age. The problem is of such magnitude and – like so many of the diseases we struggle with today – is borne of multiple causes, making it challenging to manage.
