a propagandist's statement from someone who has displayed very little knowledge.

You blow a lot of air, but there is no substance to your arguments--it's all just personal attacks. When you attempt to refute my facts, you end up supporting my original statements. That doesn't give you much credibility when it comes to judging my credentials.

Now, your latest fit is apparently aimed at my statement that akathisia is like a living hell. Those are not my terms. That is how the condition is described by the patients themselves, in published case studies (e.g., here). And that's exactly how it appears to the outsider, too, watching the poor person who is experiencing what has been described as "internal torture." This condition does not have a natural cause. It is caused by anti-psychotic medication. That's a fact that cannot be disputed. Look it up yourself.

See for example, the British Medical Journal, which published a review on akathisia:

Akathisia (Greek "not to sit") is an extrapyramidal movement disorder consisting of difficulty in staying still and a subjective sense of restlessness. It is a recognised side effect of antipsychotic and antiemetic drugs but may also be caused by other widely prescribed drugs such as antidepressants. It is a difficult condition to detect reliably and may present unexpectedly in a variety of clinical settings. The patient's behaviour may be disturbed, treatment may be refused, or the patient may be suicidal and be mistaken for a psychiatric problem. We report three cases seen in the psycho-oncology service which improved when the offending drug was discontinued.

So are you going to suggest the British Medical Journal is part of this so-called conspiracy you claim I represent?

, which published a review on akathisia:

now quote the part about the very high incidence with atypicals that you refer to, instead of apparently a case report of three. Also note the Clintonian escape parsing of "the closest thing to hell on earth," which is what I challenged you on, vs what you say now , "a hell on earth" which, although hyperbolic , I would not object to. Oh, sorry, I'm putting words in your mouth, your own.
