Ive never taken penicillin? Havent said anything hinting i might have taken it either. Why are you asking that question?
I read the lists of all recognized effects on certain medications. But all possible effects arent listed.
I was trying to describe a goal we should aim for with mental health treatment. A goal of insuring patients are able to make fully informed decisions on their treatment.
But maybe youre right, that we dont need to be helping depressed patients make informed decisions by insuring theyre fully aware of what they could be getting themselves into by altering their brain function with these treatments. We need to have those in positions of authority protect them. These people care. Why else would they be be in that position?. By elling them they could become homicidal from the treatment might make them less willing to take it. And those who are depressed, or OCD ridden patients to be making decisions on their healthcare when the doctor always knows best. He/She also cares. Yeah, the scariest info needs to be clearly presented to those in positions of authority. And are much too harsh for us little people. Lets do business as usual. And if we have collateral damage consisting of uninformed patients who just had no idea, at least the authority figures protected those who they felt they should basically make decisions for by not making certain important info ckear. Its nice to play the role of the ultimate protector. Like a mother figure.
I try to find a middle ground of keeping meds that could be helpful to some patients on the market, even if they do harm others, as long as every patient is informed. But maybe thats not the way to go. Maybe i should take a stand for not allowing sick people to not make partially informed decisions on their treatment. And vote and write letters to my reps in government explaining my thoughts on the matter. Maybe participate in protests too. So that laws that give the ultimate protective mother figures with my point of views the authority to protect the public completely by banning antidepressants.
But really, i just want sick people to be allowed to make the final decision based on a complete picture. And yes, every situation should be treated uniquely.
