As we are all saddened by the
tragedy at Newtown, I hear no concern or outcry about the fact that all of
these teens/young adults that do these heinous things are medicated, generally
for years, by drugs such as RItilan, Adderall, or worse. Why is that??? I'm stumped as to why this isn't a discussion
point...
These drugs alter brain
chemistry, and juvenile minds are known to be in a transition state. Any time you mess with personality, there is
an opportunity for that change to be negative.
I’ve seen in my own family
how readily and eager “Mental Health Professionals” are to subscribe more and
higher dosages. I’m sure in most cases
the doctors are performing admirably, but I am concerned at the acceptance of
society to putting more and more drugs into our bodies.
There are legitimate arguments
on both sides of the gun debate, and these discussions need to occur. (I land
on the side of gun control only effects law abiding citizens). But I truly
fear that the gun debate will obscure whet, in my opinon, is the root cause – medication
of children.
