I did not mean to imply they do.

What I’ve seen, in my non-medical/unqualified to diagnose anything capacity, is that sometimes the drugs seem to remove inhibitions that people normally posses.

I have a friend who went bankrupt after going on antidepressants - he seemed to believe he couldn’t fail at anything, even in some terrible business decisions that everyone around him recognized could not work. He was always an over confident person before the drugs, but to the point of ruin after going on the medication.

I think in some people if there is a strong tendency toward a particular attribute, be it self-confidence or violence, antidepressants can remove the control of that tendency. And I have heard that they may have contributed to other, similar acts.

Just my opinion, though …

2Tech - In a small way isn’t that part of why we’re on this forum? Making things better in whatever way we can. But it does need to be broader than just this.
