Whether medications can induce mania,
depression, or any other affective/cognitive
or even psychotic state, is not in dispute.
I think drs. would admit it. The important
question, (i think) is -- what kind of med,
how long taken? what dose? For example, do
you think that 1 valium tablet taken and then
stopped will turn a normal person into
a manic-depressive?Most of my reading on this subject proposes
that alcohol, or drugs, or shock, can induce
a full-blown psychotic state, BUT only in
people who already have a natural propensity to
become ill given the right trigger at the right
time.Squiggles
