#1 Oh, please! What about the kids who grow up in bad neighborhoods who don't turn into little psychopaths? If you listened to the media, you would think every kid in the 'hood is doomed.
I ran into more little psychos who came from "good" neighborhoods. Their parents were able to pay to get them special treatment from hospitals, and yes, the court system.

#2 It's only the rich families that can afford to buy their kids the best in antidepressant drugs...

Which, of course, highly exacerbate the frequency and amplitude of bipolar cycles...

#4 Thank you five justices of the Supreme Court. Remember law abiding productive citizens are expendable and have no value. Yet in a country with a population of 300 million and a planet of 5 billion we have to waste resources on this poor darling who has demonstrated her own value of life by her sociopathic behavior. I have an idea. Let's allow justice to return the victims and their families to be carried out. That power rested with the families before the government lied and promised it would carry out justice. Now that government no longer has the courage to continue to carry through with that responsibility, let it revert back to the people. Messy? Yes. However, no more messy than you continuing to insist we accept the butchery of our family and friends.

#7 Anonymous Coward,can you site a reference for your observation about antidepressants exacerbating bipolar cycles? I take Effexor, and know a bipolar who takes Effexor too, and I'm curious about this.

#8 Anyone who's bipolar should work closely with his/her doctor about meds .... it's a balance that tends to be personal and possibly to need adjustment over time. Antidepressants alone can definitely trigger more serious manic phases.

Seen this up close and personal ....

#9 Jonathan: I'd suggest looking at:

That said, there's still a lot of debate among doctors, some of whom think bupropion/Wellbutrin is safer than other antidepressants...

Effexor is a SSRI, right?
