I think talking about this stuff with anyone creates a potentially explosive arguement. The reason is, so many people are on some type of anti-depressant, this stuff is like McDonald's, they have "billions served". People get REALLY defensive about their drug when you bring up little observations, like how obsessively out of control they are, or that have you have noticed how they have become a total alcoholic since they started with Zoloft.

But be that as it may, there is a real problem going on here with so many suicides. I know that there are real mental issues here of hopelessness and despair driving the suicides. Maybe some of the older anti-depressants which don't affect the serotonin levels would be advised. The mindset we are talking about here is fragile considering the looney-toon life in the Family and then coming into the 'real World' which at the bottom line is pretty crazy too.
