The dangers of antidepressants cannot be underestimated. Antidepressants – such as Prozac and Fluoxetine – can cause worsening depression, anxiety, panic attacks, hostility, aggression, psychosis, violence and suicidality. In addition, numerous studies show them to be no more effective than placebo. https://www.cchrint.org/psychiatric-drugs/antidepressantsideeffects/
With this in mind, there was an article in a recent edition of the Metro newspaper where people were invited to share pictures of their psychiatric drug prescriptions, specifically antidepressants, in a brazen attempt to fight the perceived stigma that’s linked to the use of the drugs.
The following is a list of young people who didn’t share pictures of their prescription drugs. That’s because they took their own lives while on the prescription psychiatric drugs. Psychiatry it seems will go to any lengths to mitigate the dangers of their prescribing habits in order to keep the profits flowing.
