Would this be a new way to obtain more of the population’s DNA for ulterior motives? I confess, I did not read the whole article.
The Liberal doctrine of victimology dovetails nicely with the economic incentive to sell a cure for victimhood. If the lefties aren’t being duped by hard core Marxists, they’re being duped by Madison Avenue. Their enthusiasm for acting like idiots is inexhaustible.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
Psychiatry adopted the biological model for mental illness due, in large part, to medical economics and also because psychiatrists want to be counted among “real doctors.” The biological model allows treatment of all psychiatric disorders with medicine and dramatically increases the number of billings per day.

“Williams was there to confess that he suffered from painful and chronic shyness.”
Typical Oprah fare — a sports/showbiz figure goes on TV in front of a live audience, meeting an intimidating public figure, to tell everyone he’s painfully shy. :’) Thanks neverdem.
And earlier, including the 1970s suicide of one of the Eli Lily research chemists who developed the stuff, long before it was available as a prescription drug.
He went into Indiana's Hoosier National Forest, stripped naked, built a little bonfire with his driver's licence, company ID card and other wallet contents, and hanged himself on the spot.
I have no idea whether it was a result of the effects of the compound he was helping create, guiltr over what it would do when unleashed on an unsuspecting public, or both.
My dad died a few days before Christmas (nine years ago). He had been ill, but his passing was totally unexpected. I spent about two straight days at the hospital, then had to make the funeral arrangements, and still try and make a nice Christmas for my grieving children. From stress and lack of sleep, what started as a simple cold excelerated into pneumonia quickly. My husband had to take me to the doctor (I was too sick to drive). Our family doctor quickly prescribed an antibiotic; expectorant; wrote a script for a chest series, etc. This took about five minutes. The next 15 minutes or so were used to deal with my 'depression.' I had about 8 straight days of He%% I was recovering from, grieving over. I left the doc's office w/scripts for what I really needed (meds to clear my chest) but I had, in my possession samples of Paxil (to get me thru). I didn't take the Paxil, but I thought (at the time and still do) 'aren't we allowed to just grieve?' Why the rush to medicate. I trully know people who have had long term problems that SSRIs have helped, but I was taken aback by the quickness of handing the samples (unrequested) over to me.
I was in medicine BEFORE prozac, and even before the older anti depressants.
Suicide was a common problem during the recovery phase of depression, before these medicines were around. Indeed, the rates of suicide in teenagers has gone down since we docs started using them on depressed kids (of course, when the suicide occurs, often they are on prozac). Yet with the increase in societal disintegration (drugs, divorce, neglect) one should expect an increase in suicide for teens.
Prozac makes some people jittery/angry. When I found this in my patients, I usually referred them to a psychiatrist: Many were not “depressed” but bipolar (manic depression) or had a severe problem with anger turned inward (women who had been abused, homosexuals who hated the world’s rejection, men who had a problem with their father).
Mild depression responds well to counselling, but unless you have suffered from biochemical depression, you have no right to dismiss the use of prozac.
