He had a lot on his plate & I wish he wouldn't had taken the route he did not to face his tremendous problems......although he faced depression all his life, adding the divorce along with the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease might have been the tipping point.
I can't begin to understand what he was going thru in his last days & moments of his life.
With the numbers of suicides per year (30,000) & approximately 300k attempts, are antidepressants really effective?
I don't believe they are & of course nothing is 100% effective but I've seen many peoples lives get worse on these meds (people with light to mediocre depression) as I have seen some peoples lives get better (bipolar & severe schizo)......
How do we judge who needs them? Doctors/psychiatrists give them out like candy in hopes you need them, whether or not you get better isn't the main question, its all about making these pharm companies billions of dollars.
If these meds are working, why are these people attempting suicide?
I'm just glad I don't need these meds & I tell others that are depressed to find another route because there is no reason to take antidepressants for depression & continue to be depressed.......
