Jews and pills: till death do us part

On the subject of the love affair between Jews and pills, i.e. mentalblog.com: Jewish kids, a ritalin nation?

I am vexed by the comments that Moshe Kanovsky or people at risk should follow medication treatment. Really, how about the widely reported connection between antidepressants and suicides? Antidepressant drugs quadruple risk of suicides, research shows:

"Don't forget that the high school students who went on a shooting rampage in Colombine were on antidepressant drugs. So was Phil Hartman's wife when she murdered the actor. Time and time again, the most outrageous acts of violence in our nation are frequently linked to people who use SSRIs (antidepressant drugs)".

And now this about Cho Seung-Hui, the Virginia Tech killer. Doctor Anonymous: Depression = Murderer?

"News reports said that he may have been taking medication for depression and that he was becoming increasingly violent and erratic".

But don't worry, this connection will be ignored and the drug companies will sponsor studies to hook your kids for life. Study: Antidepressants may help kids. Jerusalem Post.
