Lou this particular thread is labeled "Abilify" and it's purpose is to ask questions about the medication, share results, etc. (For example, I personally tried abilify and this medication it did offer me some relief for my symptoms but the cost and side effects did not out way the benefits so I tried something else). Can I ask what your post has to do with the subject of Abilify? I have read your views however will continue to state that for many people, (like myself) depression is a disease and must be treated by medication. Also to answer one of your questions regarding these types of meds and suicides, A person suffering from depression is obviously and unfortunately more likely to take their own life :( In these terrible and heartbreaking tradgedies the cause is not their medication, it is their depression. I will give you a senerio you may understand, if a person is terminally ill (Cancer for example), they are obviously provided medical treatment including medication, if this person lost all hope and lost their will to live because the pain was too much to endure, would it be your assumption that their medication caused their suicide??? It happens, more than you would think, terminally ill people tradgecally end their lives, would you link this to their medication or link this terrible outcome to what they have had to endure? Compare this senerio to your senerio to medications to treat depression. I don't know your state of well being but if you don't suffer from depression like many others do you simply can't understand. So here is the final question many others have asked trying to determine your intentions: Do you suffer from depression or mental illness? If so what treatment options gave you results? And finally the "Golden" question: did you suffer from mental illness and recieve a "cure" from watching your video??
