Here’s a free gift of my ebook to those who read this: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/4kliod8a9z

And yes the Scientologists got it right long before anyone else but I’m not affiliated in any way.

My SSRI article was much stronger than this excerpt and includes audio:

Kirsch is a fighter and obsessive. He won't quit and we are luck to have him. He and the study authors are convinced Luvox is great. But this whole class of drugs has tremendous problems and should never have been approved. If Luvox was widely used for covid, we would see tremendous problems including violence, addiction, and suicide, just like the other SSRIs. So no, this is a red herring. See my post and the references cited in it including another comprehensive substack review for more. https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/antidepressants-are-the-root-cause?s=w#details

My neighbour, a kind and well-liked retired teacher, was put on ssri"s because he was feeling depressed about retiring, and he soonafter started acting crazy and knifed an elderly neighbour! He had no history of this kind of behaviour! Ssri's act on the serotonin receptors in a similar manner to lsd, and some people respond to them very badly!

More people on this crap than not. I was having a convo at the park about the role in antidepressants and suicide, because I have a friend that killed himself after being on that garbage. A stranger overheard my convo and told me that was exactly what happened to her father. So homicidal and suicidal outcomes. It is tragic.

I work in a psychiatric adolescent facility. We always ask, "Are you having suicidal ideation?" but I am more concerned about homicidal ideation...

What percentage of the patients are on meds? And how many meds average per patient?

Expand full comment

90% are on psych meds. They have to be for insurance to cover any of it. Some have up to five different psych meds, others one or two.

Wow! Isn’t that interesting. You have to be on meds for insurance to cover!

My good friend's son who was about to turn 18 and had plans to enroll in college in the fall was put on anti depressants and his depression got worse, he was walking outside at night and His mother took him back to his doctor who doubled the dosage. He had told him he felt dislocated, like he wasn't real and a few days later the boy who's name is Isaiah, got hit by a car while he was walking at night.he was about to turn 18.

I know most of my middle age women peers are on an antidepressant. Most of them probably have a thyroid problem. The tests for thyroid are woefully inaccurate, the standard ones insurance will cover.

Well. What about mind control. I will argue more than Big Pharma is involved and no matter the medication this state terror. Lone gun men on drugs is a pernicious myth. Quite like saying by the by we only look at drugs no concern about state sponsored terror 'cause we r all 'mericans here and trust the law

my father (1934-2019) suffered from bipolar manic depression with severe anxiety on and off his whole life. He tried to commit suicide twice unsucessfully. He lost his own dad when he was a young teen and this was a major trauma to him. He was, despite his problems an intelligent productive person and nurturing and mostly present dad. When the first SSRI prozac came out in 1986 he took it and it was a life altering experience. It was like a got my dad back. The SSRIs, together with lithium have helped many people. FOr severe depression they can be life changing. There were some people who were suicidal who were so depressed that they had no drive or energy to act on their suicidal impulses. Some of these people who took SSRIs had a boost in the physical energy before the anti depressant effects kicked in and they took their own lives. The SSRIs got a rap for "potentiating " suicidal ideation. It really depends on the individual patient. There is no question that these drug are massively overused and misused but they do have a role to play for severely depressed people. They are very good for severe depression with anxiety.

This corresponds to my experience. It's tricky finding the right molecules. If you suffer from depression and you are lucky (not going to say you have a "goo" doctor), you will get your life back.

The problem is not guns, not drugs. The problem is that US Americans are assholes and have centuries of horrific karma to expiate.

Check out the documentaries "Hearing Voice," - Netflix, and "Medicating Normal," - Facebook and the "Surviving Antidepressant" support group. Use duckduckgo browser if the above 2 propaganda pushing sites no longer search these titles or group. These will enlighten you on the subject of Big Pharm Psychiatric drugs, I mean medications. Perhaps the psych meds are why so many people are Cognitively Dissonant to what is truely going on, globally. Kinda "Ho Hum 🎼 . . . aka Flat Effect." In addition, also keep in mind Stockholm Syndrome and the Milgram Experiment ofcourse.

How did modern man survive for 200,000 years? It wasn’t with injections that’s for sure! Childhood diseases prevent cancer. There are so many things wrong with how we live now, where do I begin? Testosterone is at the lowest levels ever, cancer has skyrocketed, along with autoimmune diseases. Kids are sicker than they have ever been in at least 50 years.

Absolutely spot on. They give out that garbage to kids like candy
