Dead Wrong: How Psychiatric Drugs Can Kill Your Child Page #7

---

whether by homicide, suicide or

overdose, are linked to psychiatric drugs.

There was one thing I just

didn't understand, though.

How could a drug, especially

one that was supposed to help,

cause a person to take the extreme step

of deciding to kill himself or others?

Matthew would never

have taken his own life.

It must have been the drug. But how?

I asked this of Pamela Seefeld,

a pharmacist and an expert

on the adverse effects of

psychiatric drugs on the human body.

It's very nice to meet you. Thank you for

having, taking the time to speak with me.

My son was only on the one but he started

off at one dose and did not do well.

And it was after that that his

demeanor really started to change.

He became very anxious, very withdrawn,

more withdrawn than he had been,

because at least before that

he was still talking to us.

And within nine weeks of starting

the medication Matthew was, was gone.

The symptoms that you're describing,

the description of these symptoms,

it's very classic of drug-induced

psychosis because he couldn't metabolize.

You have to understand it wasn't

his depression that got him;

it was the medicine at a toxic level

in his brain that made him psychotic

and that's what it comes down to.

I'm telling you the drug metabolism

issues are killing a lot of people.

If they're only offering you

medicines and the medicines have this

possibility of causing psychosis,

that's what's really happening.

The person's drug level

gets toxic in the brain.

These medicines like Lexapro, Paxil,

Zoloft, they have to work in the brain.

That's what they do, they

pass through the brain

and they work on those

receptors in the brain.

If you think about it,

if you have a normal dose of a drug

and people don't do really well with it,

if the increase in the

concentration is five times,

think about what that

does to the person.

Five times the normal

amount of drug in the brain.

People always become psychotic on it

and they call it

drug-induced psychosis.

Well, I feel very strongly

that's what happened to my son.

I'm sure of it.

When your son was given those medicines

- he can't metabolize those,

he had a toxic level in the bloodstream

and in his brain and as a

result of that he took his life.

And what has happened is that

they're not looking at the real facts.

- The drugs are very dangerous.

- And, and they know.

- Oh, yes.

- They know that this is happening.

And nothing's being done, let me

tell you that. Nothing's being done.

And so if I can bring you a science

reason, it's not obscure like

"drugs are bad," "medicines

are bad." It's not that.

I'm telling you there's science

behind what we're discussing here
