You're quite right :-)

And from the last post I left you've probably noticed that
in Eli Lilly did comparitive studies and (cutting out the others) the suicide rate on their SSRI was

FLUOXETINE (Prozac) 3.7

as compared to
Amitriptyline 0.8

3.7 is
VERY MUCH higher an RR (relative risk)
than that for the level which decided that ASBESTOS was dangerous (not for suicide! but dangerous).

Unfortunately, it seems that Christopher Pittman had a FAR HIGHER chance of becoming either suicidal or homicidal than he would have had of becoming ill/fatally ill from having been in contact with Asbestos.



As to someone above who mentioned that the child was a sociopath (though I don't see any evidence to back that statement).. "disassociation" is documented as a side effect of SSRIs.

Isn't one of the signs of a sociopathic personality that of lack of empathy for others?
Does that apply to those who cannot put themselves into the shoes of children like Christopher before making judgemental decisions founded on nothing other than 'personal' ideas and not on reasoning or empathy?

I'd say that corporate psychopathy (including psychopathic personalities within the corporation) was clearly evident when industries knowingly distort the evidence from their own clinical studies, lie about the 'scientific' need for mind-altering drugs, and promote their use KNOWING that their own studies caused deaths? THAT is sociopathic surely? To push drugs knowing they will kill, and then continue to lie and deceive even after very many people have died?

Doesn't that hint just a little at a lack of concern about human life? Is that not the REAL sociopathy in evidence here?

Amen

It is impossible for most moral people to comprehend that otherwise respectable people can make these decisions and sleep at night. Until I was confronted with it I could not believe that people could make decisions that would lead to the maiming of others for a hundred or so a year. Groups of people. It totally freaks me out that people could have these facts and then commission studies in children and promote their use in children! Those people are cold blooded killers. Unbelievable cold blooded killers.
