[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her attorney has stated she was prescribed up to 12 psych meds since October 2022. If true, she was likely having major side effects from the mixtures of these meds. There is absolutely no need to prescribe this many psych meds to an otherwise mentally healthy young woman, this is just disgraceful although this is what I suspected. She was grossly overmedicated to the point of possibly causing psychosis. These physicians just hand out SSRIs and anxiolytics like candy,[b] it should only be a psychiatrist doing this not pcp and obgyns.[/b] We don’t all need to take SSRIs, there’s something really wrong with our society if we all need emotional blunting. [/quote]

Why would you assume she was not under the care of a psychiatrist?[/quote]
I am curious as to who initially prescribed psych meds for her, bet it wasn’t a psych.[/quote]

If your statement about 12 meds is correct, I have a hard time imagining any OB or PCP prescribing that many, or going through that many combinations, without referring to a psychiatrist. [/quote]
Yes she was under a psych’s care later on, but I am talking initially. When did she first begin psych meds ever? And who prescribed them and why? I am betting it was either a pcp or obgyn, and I have a major issue with this. How long was she taking psych meds before she ever even saw a psych? Months? Years? Who initially diagnosed her with a mental illness to warrant taking these meds?[/quote]

Sounds like you have no idea how hard it is to get into a psychiatrist. The wait times are unbelievable. It is often a gift that a PCP or OBGYN issues a prescription.

And it’s doubtful that it was 12 at once. There were probably different cocktails of medication that involved some small number of medications. [/quote]
Yes, I am well aware how difficult it is. Anyone other than a psych should not be handing these meds out, especially to people without a psych diagnosis.[/quote]

DP. Well, then we'll have a lot more dead people. I hope you can live with promoting that. (They won't.)

[b]About 1 in every 5 to 6 people will be clinically depressed in their lifetimes. Of the ones who seek help from a physician for it, about 15% will commit suicide within one month if treatment is not started.[/b]

You, PP, are going to be responsible for a lot of dead people if you keep this up. Take responsibility for it. [/quote]

Your numbers are tragic.  But the solution is not more anti-depressant medication.  If we didn't have guns all over the place, people wouldn't kill themselves so often.  [/quote]

Nope. Most suicidal women don’t use guns.[/quote]
