To the above posters.. these medications are dangerous.. specifically when mental illness isnt properly diagnosed and psychiatric meds are handed out by general practitioners, pediatricians, etc.. and prescribed by a little booklet given to them by the pharmaceutical co. There is a HUGE problem with actually diagnosing mental illness by physicians who ARE NOT qualified to do so.

This CAN be accurate as well. But, for a poster to say, "these drugs are terrible!" is nonsense and incomplete. It's a blanket statement. If someone is prescribed anti psychotics, there is usually a good reason. People tend to forget that hundreds of massive facilities in the early to mid 1900's permanently housed these patients who were deemed "incurable". It's not like these new age drugs have developed murderers (this was the link brought up by the OP).
With that said, I do agree that mental illness drugs can be too easily prescribed, especially with continuing patients.edit on 16-1-2013 by capone1 because: (no reason given)

Ooooooooooo, I dunno about the suicide rates being linked to these drugs in the military, but it is shocking to see the correlation between SSRI's and Murder.
It seems more often than not, military suicide is linked to soldiers not receiving care due to their stressful duties(PTSD), Depression, remorse, so on, so on.

So people who are put on ANTI-psychotics for being a danger to themselves or others.... they dont take their medication... and then kill people.
This is the fault of the medicine how?

Correlation DOES NOT equal CAUSALITY! Don't confuse the two! Unstable people just happen to be on SSRI when they commit their atrocities. Look at the MILLIONS of other people who are on SSRI and don't harm anyone. In fact SSRI have been known for a long time to not just control the hell that mood disorders place people in, but also have a neurogenerative effect on their brains. The more you use SSRI, the more neurones and white matter you grow in your brain. Latest research is even indicating that long term use of SSRIs PROTECT people from cognitive impairment disorders like alzheimers and other forms of dementias. Do your homework before you make bland, nebulous statements..
