Well, well. Finally the truth is seeping out.
I don’t look for this to gain mainstream traction, as the amount of money against the truth is just staggering.
Look for the “you must be a scientologist” crowd to be along shortly. They always show up on any threads that don’t promote drugs-for-mental-health.
Is that you Tom Cruise???
I hope the truth gets out, but maybe the only way for this kid to catch a break is if the bleeding hearts and Kennedy thinks it is cruel and unusual punishment.
IMHO, he killed while he was obeying a state mandated psychosis. IIRC, he's been normal since he has been off the drugs in jail.
What never gets discussed in theses threades is that ANY class of anti-depressants in their “boost phase” can cause an increased risk of suicide, homicidal behavior and unmasking of underlying mania.
As the anti-deppressant takes effect, the depressed person’s mood energy and ability to mobilize oneself to inner directed action increases. Two weeks into therapy, one had better be in a supportive therapeutic atmosphere, group, family, psychologist or otherwise for at that point a person who has been suicidal in the past may actually have gained the psychic cajones to follow through...especailly if there is some type of set back or upset experienced by that person at the time.
Now what is especially dangerous about these drugs is the unmasking of underlying mania,psychoses, or schizophrenia kept hidden by depression. The anti-depressant alleviates the depressed mood, which may have come about by the individual spending a lot of mental effort in suppressing his increasingly diseased thought processes and irrational urges. The individual, in a falsely “amped up mood” then loses control of his inner tormented state and all hell can break loose.
Certainly, folks can have bizzare reactions to drugs out-side of any other schizoidal disease which may not even be present...but what is more likely is that the anti-depressants simply unmask what is more complicated mental illness other than simply “depression”!
