Subject: RE: BS: Ban anti-depressant drugs, not guns
Hundreds of thousands, and likely millions of people take psychosomatic drugs to get more normalized. Many or most of these people are more productive and involved members of families and communities. Even if many handsful of them does things we might like to attribute to their meds, that does not negate the others' success, or the value of meds or mean that meds are worse than they are better.

Medical science--there's that word again--has never pretended to be perfect. And, as mentioned earlier, not all patients always take their meds as prescribed.
