Re: Unhappy Pills Did Prozac Make My Dad Suicidal?

* SSRIs increase the supply of serotonin to the brain. An imbalance in serotonin is an important factor in depression.

Noting that people who are "depressed" have reduced levels of serotonin in their brains during autopsy does not mean that reduced levels of serotonin "causes" "depression". And even if it did, the way SSRI's "increase" serotonin levels is defective. The lowered levels of serotonin might actually be correct function for the brain in question, given other factors in the body, but these factors are not sought. So, SSRI's turn around and make a further checmical imbalance to try to "correct" an "imbalance" that we do not understand.

What sound does a guinea pig make? These days, guinea pigs speak English.

What's disturbing about stories like this is how they still largely or fully agree with the belief in "chemical imbalances in the brain" as the cause of whatever ails us, despite pointing out the suicidal tendencies (or, worse, homicidal tendencies) that some people suffer when exposed to these drugs. They fail to recognize that the whole system is corrupt -- the diagnosis as well as the "cure" -- and so such people are going to continue to be psychiatric guinea pigs.

If the hypothesis about brain chemistry is correct, then the obvious question to ask is: why is the brain lacking in sufficient serotonin? Well, they cannot seem to answer this question, but they sure can muck around with brain chemistry and make guinea pigs out of not only the "patients" but also the patients' families, neighborhoods, workplaces...

Every time you hear about somebody going nuts and opening fire on a school yard, a restaurant, a post office, whatever, investigate it more closely. All of those people were in the care of psychiatry and on psychiatric drugs at the time of the event. Every one. At best, we can say that the psychiatry simply didn't work, and yet these are the things we "trust" psychiatry to handle. If they aren't doing the job, then what are they being paid for? At worst, the drugs that these people are on are actually causing these murderous, suicidal rages. The truth might actually be both. Either way, something in the system stinks.
