Dear Editor,
I’m really concerned about how deadly antidepressants can be, especially to our young teenagers! Anyone watching the news will know what I’m talking about. It especially hit home with me since my two grandchildren have been on antidepressants for over a year now.
At the beginning it seemed to help them, but as time went on things got worse. Now they are both in juvenile hall and cannot seem to cope with the system. The medication seems to have turned two perfectly easy-going, likable boys into boys who are always in trouble and with no future plans with a “I don’t give a damn attitude.” What happens to them?
They are 14 and 15. The 15-year-old all ready tried suicide in juvenile hall in Santa Clara county. He feels his life is over and has no desire to go on. Some times he talks positive but then he goes back into depression. His biggest problem is fighting back instead of walking away. Both of them are hot headed and it has ruined their lives. Like the old saying goes, “you can’t beat city hall,” and boy is that ever true.
Since I don’t have a pot to pee in nor a window to throw it out, I’ll have to sit back and watch my two grandsons rot in juvenile hall or worse yet. CYA is what the judge is saying if they don’t straighten up. How can they drugged up all the time?
