Listen folks. All I am saying is that the issue is not binary.
We want the information to be binary because it makes us feel confident about our decisions.
Take depakote.
It may help your mood. But it is a fact that it may damage your liver. It is a fact that my mother has a bad liver from years of depakote use.
There are some real dangers that may be associated with the use of certain drugs. That is a fact, not psudoscience. Just like antipsychotics can dammage certain areas of the brain. That is a fact. Psychiatrists know that. It's not just the Tom Cruises.
I am under the belief that a lot of information/dangers are withheald / played down because it is percieved that the best interest of the mentally ill.
It is not a black and white issue. I don't know why people try to make it into that.
