Utah women are twice as likely as men to be on antidepressants, according to a new report.
And while some cling to a stereotype of Utah County women needing the most help to battle depression, they are the least likely to have a prescription.
It's women in northern Utah — Roy, Hooper, Riverdale, Brigham City, Layton and parts of Box Elder, Cache and Rich counties — who pop the most pills.
