THE ROLE OF ANTI-DEPRESSANTS IN MASS KILLINGS - Michael Moore on THE REAL LESSON OF COLUMBINE...

5. These drugs CAUSE psychosis and suicidal thoughts.

We've always had mental illness and depression. We've never had so many mass murders before and it's not just kids. I wonder how many of the murder-suicides, of which we've had a bunch in our area recently, may also be induced by people taking these mind-altering drugs?

In our area we had a 10-yaer-old stab his 12-year-old playmate to daeth. Neighbors said he was on psychiatric drugs and Mom was worried about the side effects he was having.

Way too many kids are placed on drugs who should not be.

When my daughter was young a teacher wanted her on Ritalin because she had trouble sitting still in class (at age 6!) She got into ice skating about that time and the coach suggested she practice before school. Problem was immediately solve d- on the days she skated there were no behavioral issues. I tell every parent with a so-called hyperactive child to get them into a before-school sport.

Increasingly links have been found between certain foods/nutrients and mental health. There are psychiatrists who have gotten people completely off mental health drugs simply by changing what they eat. Shortages of certain vitamins and too much sugar and junk food can actually make some mental illnesses worse. This should be tried first before any drugs are considered. Drugs should be only used in extreme cases such as when someone is acting psychotic or suicidal, where counseling and diet changes have been tried and did not work, and perhaps in cases where there is a history of serious mental illness.

I also wonder about GMOs in our foods....these are fairly new and known to cause all sorts of serious health problems; could mental instability be among them? Kids are big consumers of cereals which are made with GMO corn, for instance.
