Look at any package insert of any psychiatric drug, and you will see a long list of gruesome side effects. On many of these inserts, prominently listed are aggression and hostility. No one can tell who will or won’t experience suicidal and violent thoughts and actions too often induced by psychiatric drugs.

One common adverse effect is depersonalization. This feeling of disassociation and detachment can open the door to some extremely sudden and violent acts. One killer on these drugs described his murderous thought process as, “It wasn’t a ‘want to’ … it was a ‘need.’ I had to.”

No longer is it only criminals or psychotics randomly killing others. Murders are now being committed by husbands, mothers, friends and total strangers under the spell of psychiatric drugs—very often the kind of people you would never think capable of it.

More than 280 million people around the world are prescribed psychiatric drugs—despite 100 international regulatory warnings citing violent and suicidal behavior as possible side effects.

But that doesn’t stop psychiatrists from reaching for their prescription pads again and again.
