A compilation of articles regarding the use of psychotropic drugs and mass murders, death and suicides. Over 4800 articles spanning several decades.

Who in Congress has the balls to start investigating this? My guess would be nobody. My congress critters will be receiving an email with a link to this site. I'm so looking forward to the scripted response.

It isn't just one factor, although the use of meds as primary treatment for mental illness is probably one of the factors. Meds are really supposed to be used to stabilize so that other help can be offered as meds mainly just treat symptoms, and in some cases, obviously not very well.

We probably need to rethink what mental illness really is, but that won't happen.

Devaluation of human life, desensitization to violence, eroding of morals, eroding of the concept of personal responsibility via both legal system and medical system, etc. People acting like jerks on the internet b/c of anonymity, i.e. belief in compartmentalization of "different realities" and not understanding or believing in the impact of all our personal choices on our lives. Add "meds used as primary treatment option" to the list and you have alot of factors that can contribute to the occurrence of these types of tragedies. Of course, using meds as a primary treatment option is more of a result of some of the other factors, although it is also probably a factor as well.

Also, consider we got to this point gradually, not over night. There are probably alot of things in play that we aren't considering, but due to the great span of time it is hard to see everything.

It is easier for politicians to blame guns. Much easier to make it look like you are doing something. Even though places like Chicago which have some of the most stringent gun laws (some even overturned by the SCOTUS).... are rampant with gun violence.

Instead of doing depression screenings and giving people drugs, we need to teach people how to deal with stress. We have depression screening all the time at the local Community College where I work. What good purpose is there in drugging everyone up?

Most people that are prescribed SSRIs dont actually take them. Most people with mental illness think they are fine or they take them start feeling better, then stop taking them because they are better, or they like their high of their disorder and would rather have that high with wild swings downward than be normal. People who start and stop usually end up going off the deep end or getting caught up in a vicious cycle where they are ok on meds, but then quit because they are better, the cycle repeats and each time they go off the worse and worse their low gets.

The problem with mental illness is not big pharma, it is the stigma society places on it.

And that site is pure junk.

I agree. Let's take diabetes. There is no cure, and that has nothing to do with Big Pharma. If you had any idea of how research works you would know that. So they prolong life, making it an even more chronic problem. The solution? Ban all medicines which do not cure.

Think of the cost savings. Yes that's sarcasm.

Now if you have a better solution which works (and please "SSRISAREEVIL" sites aren't going to have any credibility with the knowledgeable) for the many problems, including those of brain chemistry, please present them. You won't any more than you'll find a car that burns water or a perpetual motion machine.

There are uncounted thousands of researchers who are looking for basic answers to serious and complex subjects and there is no way that "BP" can hide cures any more than they could hide that 9/11 even happened at all.

Neither Big Pharma, nor the Trilateral Commission, nor the Jews are telling "Cell" or academic institutions that they are going to be killed if they publish "secrets". That's entirely absurd.

Sorry, didn't know it was sacrilegious to criticize Big Pharma. :rolleyes:

How dare anyone speak anything but glowingly soaring praise of our drug company overlords and masters. :rolleyes:

After all, everything that's not perfect in our lives is a disorder and there should be a pill for it. :rolleyes:
