   When I first visited the US and saw pills came in bottles rather than blister packs, it was one of those little culture shock things.

   But for years I never knew why the difference existed.

   That changed recently. The popularity of blister packs in Europe is a suicide-prevention method.

   It's dead easy to open a bottle and neck the contents. Try it with a blister pack and you get bored.

   Apparently this is a real effect.

     @goatsarah this is true. Being deeply depressed is “I don’t want to do anything”. And suicide is WORK.

     It’s a genuine effect.
