Oh man, linked to that article, one about a mom who gets put on Trazodone, gets suicidal, and kills her kids: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12048809/Mom-killed-three-children-jumping-roof-permanently-paralyzed-waist.html

Oh damn, saw the headline, didn't realize she'd been Trazadoned..

If it weren't for these stupid HIPAA laws, we'd be able to see how many school shootings and other crazy bullshit is done by people on anti-depressants.

Surely lots, and that would be the reason for those laws. They should have a clause to allow for such crimes to void the secrecy.

It used to be the policy of prisons and larger county jails in Illinois, for the institution to have their own doctor, who would refuse mentally ill people many kinds of psychological medications and make substitutions. This resulted in nearly everything being substituted with Trazadone at the time (they may have switched to substituting to Seriquill now). This included taking inmates off of MAOI inhibitors, cold-turkey, something that is damaging to your brain.
