Sounds like his technique was ... I dunno, stay inside? Not appear and ask to be cuffed?

Not even close to conclusive >but it does make one ponder. A psychiatrist friend points out-- 1) In the vast majority of cases, psychoaactive medications work as intended (or fail by not working at all). In a small minority, yes, there can be effects such as violence. The key is to keep up on the patient's status and make sure he isn't in the small minority! 2) You can have a situation where the patient is so utterly depressed they cannot even consider suicide, because that implies a hope of ending their misery. As antidepressants function, they may pass thru a stage where they are feeling just spunky enough to consider suicide, but not enough to reject it. _______________________________________________ To post, send message to [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.
