Why would someone want to purposefully do that to themselves? Probably the fear of not knowing what to do, or the fear of the unknown, keeps people stuck.

You wrote,[...Maybe..they don't work?...Why.?..the fear of not knowing...].
There were about 42,000 deaths from taking psychotropic drugs in one way or another last year. This number could go up due to that more of these drugs are being prescribed to more people. This means that if you look at his situation in the following light, the prescribes and manufacturers of the drugs could be in denial of the facts. And the drugs could induce a mind-alterd state for the taker of the drug to want to kill themselves and/or others or commit mass-murder.
Here is a post that has a link in it thatcatalogs the suicides and murders and other related crimes and issues related to people that were taking psychotropic drugs while the crime was commited.
