I’ve heard that as well, that it’s pretty much what happens to a cocaine addict that they get to a point where their brain produces less (or more? I forget) dopamine to tolerate the cocaine and when they get off it, they basically have zero dopamine going to the pleasure centers and they go nuts with depression and suicidal thoughts. Maybe that’s what Ann means? They stop taking these anti-depressants and just go full out suicidal?
I do agree with her though that we need to revise the mental health situation in this country. I’m reminded of the actress Amanda Bynes who has schizophrenia and was doing all kinds of destructive things and her own parents would constantly go to court to get her involuntarily committed and they kept getting denied over and over. Meanwhile their daughter was constantly getting into trouble, getting arrested - This went on for over a year I believe - and it was only after she doused a dog in gasoline and tried to burn in on this womans driveway did the judge finally grant the parents request to have her committed. The courts literally wait until someone gets killed or in this case, a dog was almost tortured to death not to mention the persons house was almost being burned down.
Near as I can tell from up close: missing a couple doses releases the patient from the calm stupor, drops straight thru depression, goes past “flight” and full into “fight” where reason doesn’t apply, only dominance & destroying the designated threat. Understanding that last stage is near impossible precisely because it’s not rational - to the point that bystanders can barely remember what happened precisely because it’s nonsense.
