Woman fighting for prescription warnings after husband kills twi - WNCN: News, Weather

So this is about the role of Prozac/Paxil other ssri's in inducing psychosis in depressed individuals....logically to me if an antidepressant can induce mania I don't see why it can't also induce psychosis in that state. I don't think this is common but the outcomes are tragic....it's also interesting to me that antidepressants are typically considered so safe and normal compared to APs that your family doc can prescribe them and yet they have a much stronger black box warning...and seem to induce/worsen mental illness in some cases. This is exceptionally worrying given the current trend toward forced treatment for psych conditions...
