I've thought this since I first read that comment and the single thing that makes me hope this is a troll. I know people in the military...

When you say sometimes, it's more like extremely rarely. Like I said previously, often a diagnosis and treatment take a long time before successful. We are chemical beings and sometimes the chemicals get out of whack. Think about a huge part of what makes men different from woman and just how different we really are: Testosterone and Estrogen Very powerful chemicals.

I saw an accidental inducement of psychosis. A woman going through menopause was wrongly prescribed hormone replacement therapy. It was a scary thing to witness someone perfectly sane turn into a nut job practically overnight. She ended up having shock therapy and eventually "recovered".

I'm not an expert in suicide prevention, but I wish I was. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
