You've found the blog of Jere Matlock, a web designer and writer. This journal is mostly about writing, web design and getting sites to the top of the search engines (SEO is my business). It is also full of opinions and observations about pretty much everything. If these things are not of interest to you, feel free to go now. Go on, shoo!

By the way, if you feel like taking offense at something posted on this site, go right ahead, it won't bother me a bit. Kingsley Amis has a nice quote about that, in which I take solace and some pride when the flames arrive:

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."

Prescription for Violence - psych drugs causing school shootings

A new hard-hitting anti-psych video from CCHR, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, of which I’ve been a member since 1972, highlights the firm link between school shootings and the drugs that the shooters were on. Drugs like Ritalin and Prozac ARE the reason these school shootings are taking place. These drugs need to be outlawed and the criminal drug company executives and FDA officials that have conspired to keep the public in the dark so they can keep raking in their profits need to be tried and imprisoned for their complicity in these murders. The psychiatrists who have been prescribing these drugs also need to be brought to justice.

That’s my stand.

What’s your take on this issue? What do you say to the parents of the kids who are shot because a psychiatrist prescribes a drug known to cause suicidal and homicidal ideation (murderous thoughts) in patients to whom it is prescribed. When the “black box warning” clearly says that’s what it does?

Recently my own sister (never a Scientologist) who has been in reality an alcoholic and drug abuser for the last decade, was prescribed one of these drugs by her friendly neighborhood psych when she went in seeking help. While taking this drug, within a couple of weeks she then tried to commit suicide twice and physically attacked her boyfriend. She wound up being involuntarily committed for 72 hours, twice.

When I let her know about the link between suicidal thoughts, homicidal thoughts, and these drugs, she was outraged and stopped taking them. As I told her, this kind of betrayal in the name of help makes my blood boil. She wanted to know why this had been allowed to happen, how it could ever happen? I had no answer for her except that there’s a lot of money in these drugs and big pharma has the psychs in their pocket.
