You wrote,[...if the doctor says to keep with it because the drug needs more time...].
But does not the person seeing the doctor and taking the drug think that the doctor is right and thearfore will take the drug day after day as he/she is told to do?
Now if the drug could induce a mind-alterd state to the person to compell them to think of killing themselves, then could not the taking of the drug more and more cause the potential for the mind-alterd state to be more and more probable?
You see, do not people trust doctors when they go to them? Are they not seeking help and think that a doctor will do what will be good for them and thearfore follow what they tell them to do?
Here is a video that I would like to include in this discussion.
