“Psychiatrists describe depression as ‘anger turned inwards’.”
The anger turns OUTWARD in some of the depressed young on anti-depressants. They don’t get “happy and carefree” like a lot of older people on them.

Primary care doctors prescribe SSRI-antidepressants to millions of adults, adolescents and children, certainly not only for treatment of depression anymore. SSRI’s are prescribed for school phobias, bed wetting, eating disorders, sleep disturbances (insomnia), nail biting, hair pulling, headache, gambling addiction, alcohol addiction, back pain, stomach upset, premenstrual syndrome, etc., and even to “feel better then well”. SSRI’s have become all purpose “feel good pills”, nowadays, in the year 2000. Unfortunately many doctors are unaware of the major consequences and some of them don’t even seem to care. They argue that the positive effects of SSRI’s far outweigh their negative effects. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Let us not focus on the guns and start focusing on the real killers of our young people. It is the drug companies.
