In Response To: Peter Breggin MD is not Scientologist (Daniel)

I'll read your article later. It's long. I want to clarify something. I have seen psychotropic drugs help some people. I have seen Ritalin help some children. Are these things overly prescribed? I'm sure of it! There's a recent report out that Ritalin has been shown to cause heart problems in some people. That's very concerning.

Once when I was struggling with depression, I tried a fairly new anti-depressant. I was unable to tolerate the side effects. I'm very sensitive to medication. So what I did was look for more natural remedies and I found just what I needed in addition to a spiritual renewal that helped me over the hump. But some people are unable to take that route and have more severe cases of depression than I had. Some of these people I have seen helped by psychotropic drugs, but it's not for everyone, I agree.
