My summary

Back to my Overview Page.

Overall, there is clear decline in drug searches and an increase in rehab searches, which could uncover a step forward for a healthier society. America, and the world as whole, have very similar patterns: an increase in rehab searches but still far below drug searches. Sweden on the other hand is extremely different with its rehab search above their drug searches. There are spikes due to epidemics through the years but for the most part, drug searches seem to be going down.

In conclusion, these trends show a very positive change in the world. Since 2004, the results seem to be going in a very positive direction. The increase in searches for rehab shows that more people are interested in searching for help for their issues than ever before. Of course the search result for drugs doesn’t mean that those people are or were taking drugs, but the large decrease gives some hope that they are not being abused as much as they once were. The data from Sweden could indicate they are doing something very positive for the health of their citizens. Maybe the United States and many other parts of the world could learn and adopt their techniques and ideas to help the world become a more robust place.
