Fwd: [SSRI-Research] NYU Students Drugged-NY Post / Antidepressant Use in Ch

[Guest guest]

Jeesh, these guys (psychiatrist) are killing us.

 

Wouldn't you think if something causes suicide in children, which at

last they have been forced to admit to, one would look at the power of

such a drug and think twice or 10 times about precribing it?!

 

In a sane and reasonable world, psychiatrists would be held

accountable for all the misery they cause.
