You never know I might just be
Something you need…
Guilt is the barometer of human behaviour. The conscience that seems to swell and fill your head.
Others may see me as a train wreck but I have never lost it. I have never stumbled across the mute button on my conscience. My moral centre remains intact. I can say that at least.
From Dr. Peter Breggin’s Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal .
Mr. Hitchens,
While elements of your case against anti-depressants may be valid, you are undermining your case by blaming them for just about every terrible thing that happens anywhere on the planet. LIke Scientology and its video on You Tube ‘PSYCHIATRY: THE INDUSTRY OF DEATH’ although even they make some valid points.
I noticed that you mentioned the Hannah Bonser case a few months back in the context of anti-psychotics. (‘She was also prescribed ‘antipsychotic’ drugs, and who knows what effect they may have had?’) If you have read Theodore Dalrymple’s ‘If Symptoms Persist’ he writes about a young woman in the manic phase of her disorder who had (and these are the good doctor’s words, not mine.) ‘taken to hearing voices’ and gloating over the fact that he orders his ‘underlings’ (aka: nurses) to forcibly medicate her ‘in the buttocks’.
I fear for the future of journalism when mere fact checking is interpreted as an ad hominem attack.
In response to this.
