Re: attemped suicide-safe now

[Guest guest]

Lynnie, thank you for replying. I also have family from Ireland, also

England, Wales, Scotland, Denmark, etc. I have family traced back to English

royalty (there's our problem Joe says-ha ha). I suppose some of you have

read the theory why we have so much AD(H)D in this country is that it was

the hyper couldn't fit in with society ones who left the old world and

struck out for here where they could be free and unique and they had all

this excess energy and ideas, etc.

I'm pondering the idea of talking to 's family Dr. and asking for an

anti-depressant for him. Though I feel most of his problems are caused by

his mom I think with the predisposition to chemically caused depression

(chemical imbalances and exposures to foods and chemicals he can't process)

I think it would be safer on the drug than trying to survive it all without.

Drugs scare me but suicide is worse. S.

Oh, my gosh Lynnie, you are right. Connie is horrible about following thru

with anything including medication. I will have to either continually call

her to do it or see if Shane will be responsible to do that job. I didn't

know about the Colorado thing (the meds involved).

My daughter's friend at school was on lithium and I think the parents took

him off and he committed suicide. I'll call her now and see how it went.

's decided against killing himself after he and talked about what

happens after death to your body. He told her, " I changed my mind! "

Dear :

My mother is in the throughs of doing a geneoligical study and has gone back

several generations on my fathers side- actually all the way to Ireland and

the 1700's. There is much to your theory of chemical defects and depression.

We had a relative, oh back five or six generations who killed his eight your

old daughter and himself in the midst of a custody battle. My fathers side

of the family has issues with substance abuse, mostly alcohol. My father and

all of his sibs were professional people, ie, Drs, Layers, etc. but all were

alcoholics. My own brother is chemically dependant. depression was an issue

for me untill I has a complete histarectomy and went on primarin for hormone

replacement. Wow! What a difference. Any way, I'm not saying ALL

mito-patients have depression and chemical dependancy issues but it sure

seems to be a definent factor.

Dear S.:

I don't think this is a bad thing, but it must be closely monitored. Look at

the results that we have seen in Colorado in this past month. One of the

boys involved was on Antidepressants and was not taking them at the time.

Meds are great if used approprately and consistantly. Not an easy task, I
