Family doctors, the folks who treat sniffly noses, are prescribing SSRI antidepressant drugs to children in massive numbers. A few of those children have serious emotional disturbance, and their parents are in denial about it. Several hundred dollars a month for these drugs is the cost of keeping their child out of an institution, and if they're affluent enough, they pay it. (Adam Lanza's father works as a Tax Specialist for General Electric...you know, the staff lawyers who make six-figure salaries to help GE make Billions in foreign profits without paying U.S. Tax on it? Those folks.)
What's the societal cost of this? Eric Harris of Columbine fame was on Luvox when he shot up that school, having been recently switched from Zoloft after it left him "manic." One of the victims brought suit against Solvay pharmaceuticals, but dropped the suit after the company threatened the family with a potentially financially-crippling counter-suit. Meanwhile, the Clinton-era version of the now much-sought Assault Weapon Ban had BEEN IN EFFECT FOR 6 YEARS at the time Columbine happened.
Semiautomatic weapons have been legal for generations. However, the widespread use of SSRI antidepressant drugs on children is a more recent phenomeon, whose time-line correlates perfectly with the rise of school shootings. These drugs have serious withdrawal effects, including agression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts if stopped suddenly (listen to the commercials). These drugs are not intended to be a long-term substitute for institutional care for children with serious emotional disturbance. These kids are getting drugged up, sometimes at the behest of school officials, so they can be moved along in the system without getting the care they need. They reach adulthood, the parents can no longer control them, and poof...Columbine, Aurora, and now, Newtown, CT?
So let's have this "National Conversation." How's this for a conversation-starter: a Senate Bill which stipulates antidepressants may only be prescribed to children younger than 18 by a health professional who is licensed in the specialty of mental health, and the child + parent must check in with a social worker once a month, who may also check with the school principal, as a check on the system to make sure things are going ok.
What's that? Is the courageous Dianne Feinstein too scared to cross the pharmaceutical industry?
This is truly the subject nobody has the courage to address. It's a nationwide psychology experiment being conducted on thousands of youth, some in your community. Goebbels and the Nazis never dreamed of something so large. There is no oversight, no accountability, no attempt made to estimate what havoc this is causing. Nobody wants to talk about it.
