That is my point. Human despair is not a medical or scientific issue; it’s a spiritual one. I’m not weighing in on bipolar or schizophrenia; that is not my purview. I am weighing in on issues of normal human despair that are now too often treated pharmaceutically.

There is no statistical evidence to prove things either way; suicides have gone up, anti-depressant use has gone up. My concern is with their overuse and over prescription. There is a normal spectrum of human despair that is not a mental illness.

I stated a fact, that the FDA has issued a black box warning. Then you told me my ignorance was astounding. My ignorance, or the ignorance of the FDA?

Mainstream media falls all over itself to cover humanitarian nature of US efforts to bomb Syrian chemical stockpiles, but does almost nothing to cover our humanitarian neglect of Syrian refugees.

To make a stand for corporate ethics, I hope Howard Schultz @Starbucks will make a major statement about this. It will be good for America if he does. huffingtonpost.com/entry/sta…

Wait. What?! Kudos to those who made the story public and made sure we all know about it. Kudos to Philly DA for refusing to arraign, but why were they taken in by police to begin with -- on what grounds -- and why were they held for hours?

Not insane at all. The FDA has issued a black box warning that for people 25 years old and younger, anti-depressants can increase rather than decrease the risk of suicidal ideation.
