> http://www.ehealthme.com/ds/lithium carbonate/completed suicideOf course, the fundamental non sequitur in Lou's posts are his implication that medications, specifically lithium, CAUSE the suicides that are reported in his dubious references.

That some suicidally depressed individuals will kill themselves while on lithium is almost entirely caused by their disorder, not the medication.Lou has the right to repeatedly make assinine assertions here. Posters also have the right to call him on it.
