What if the drugs induce this behavior no matter what's wrong with you???

This so much sounds like drug propaganda to me -- a good strategy they came up

with to blame the person's illness not the poisons they were taking for their

horrific behavior. We all know they rarely get a dx right. And we all know

that many a person went ballistic on antidepressants with or without a BP dx.

These drugs affect your brain with a totally unpredictable outcome -- it often

has nothing whatsoever to do with the mental illness.

My only point in that comment is that it is medically accepted that

ANY antidepressant, regardless of the class, can cause or contribute

to instability in people with bipolar disorder because the AD under

discussion is not an SSRI. That much the medical industry admits

which is why most ADs come with a warning about watching closely

anyone given the AD who has ever had a manic episode. This has led to

the generally held belief that ONLY bipolars respond to ADs like that

and caused some doctors to label anyone who has an adverse reaction to

ADs as " bipolar " . And since there is no objective, scientific method

of diagnosing " bipolar " disorder, no once can " prove " these doctors

wrong.

Yeah, it's medical industry disinformation. But there are more and

more independent researchers talking about antidepressant induced

mania and antidepressant induced bipolar disorder.
