Sure. No more pensions, No job security, Health benefits are

sketchy, College costs $100,000+, Mom and Dad are in their 80's and

can't afford their 32 pills a day, gas costs $3.00 a gallon, their

kids are in Iraq (STILL) they just got outsourced to a 22 year old in

India, and on it goes. We have some major league problems these

days. Depressing? You betcha.

SSRI prescriptions in all agre groups have been described

as " skyrocketing " since the late eighties. We need a new term for

it since the old one's worn out. Like " space rocketing "

or " stratosphere rocketing " . Yes, it's statistically contributing to

the suicide rate. Even the drug companies know this (from the

numbers of people who off themselves in drug trials, which the

pharma-funded studies conveniently manipulate out of study texts)

and keep trying to spin it the other way- to use this stat as a

reason for more people to take the drugs.

If anyone can find this data, it would be interesting to take a look

at suicide rates for- for example- young girls (traditionally low

suicide rates) during, say, the Great Depression or annexed European

countries during WWII and compare the rate for the same demographic

today in the U.S. and other countries (like Australia) which heavily

drug the young.

Of course the demoralizing combination of social and economic

conditions faced by people in their middle years coupled with the

very inquisitorial environment generated by fake pharma " depression

research " that patholizes all sense of outrage and activist anger at

these circumstances as " brain chemical imbalance " (instead of

describing it as righteous piss-off-edness, which would at least be

validating, pharma spin causes friends and families to advise others

to see shrinks and get drugs instead of just listening and

supporting) causes a lot of the initial distress that drives people

to accept prescriptions for psychotropic drugs.

Maybe previous depression (or just short life experience as with

children) contributes to some people lacking a baseline sense of

reality when the drug-induced akathisia (the agitated state which

produces violence/suicidality) sets in, though I don't know. It

makes sense that if your cirumstances tell you you have a lot to be

upset about and then you get curiously more upset after taking some

drugs, you might just think it was more of the same self-generated

negative feelings and would not figure out that it might be good to

get OFF the drugs.

But then again, psychosis reportedly sets in so rapidly with some

people (the first few weeks of exposure) who take SSRIs- even those

who took them for migraines or other non-depressive states- that

they lose the faculty to distinguish what the drug is doing. Their

doctors tell them that the anxiety is simply being " uncovered " by

the drug (oh so helpful) and represents a " previously invisible

mental disorder " which needs MORE drugs. Usually the " invisible

disorder " which was helpfully " uncovered " is said to be bipolarity,

which accounts for some of the rise in that disorder. Most doctors

refuse to recognize the adverse events for what they are. Blinded by

money and guilt, I suppose.
