In my long career as a law enforcement officer, I have been able to personally verify and touch as the act of committing suicide has many different facets.
The act of taking your own life may be the consequence of the decision taken in a flash, or a deep reflection that maybe had been lasting for months or years.
No one denies that many people in the world commit suicide every day without ever having touched a drug in their life.
But we can not ignore the disproportionate number of people who commit suicide solely because of drugs.
And suicide on drugs is particularly different from the others.
Let's step back a little.
Committing suicide as I have just said, it is a serious matter, and nobody can deny that.
But the way suicide is committed is something equally serious.
Why are police officers more likely to the so-called impulsive suicide?
Because the availability of a firearm makes that gesture simpler, less bloody.
Imagine having to defend yourself from an attacker with a knife.
Not everyone would be able to have the necessary "oomph" to stab someone, while pulling a trigger is much easier, it seems to do no harm to anyone. You will not feel the impact of a knife with the meat ... it's just like if you let the bullet do the task of doing harm.
The same happens for suicide.
One thing is to shoot yourself, one thing is to jump out of the window, one thing is to take pills and one thing is to hang yourself.
Suicide by hanging and that by drug overdose are the ones that mostly involve people whose brain is no longer under their control.
In fact, you can commit suicide being perfectly aware you want to.
But with the drugs is different: they are the ones who force you to do it when it is the last thing you want to do.
Many times I was involved in suicides as a police officer.
And, in fact, I reflected a lot on the degree of despair that might have led a person to commit this act.
I was wrong.
It was not despair, it was unconsciousness.
Yes, unconsciousness.
The drugs in general, but especially antidepressants of the SSRI class (selective serotonin reuptake selectors, and then Fluoxetine - Prozac - Paroxetine - Paxil, Sereupin, Seroxat, Eutimil, Daparox - Sertraline - Zoloft - Citalopram - Elopram, Seropram - , Escitalopram - Cipralex, Entact -) and those of the SNRI class (selectors reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, and then venlafaxine - Efexor - Duloxetine - Cymbalta, Xeristar) and all of these generic drugs have a strong relationship with violence.
Unconsciousness, I said.
Yes, because now only a blind man wouldn't see that these categories of drugs interfere in such a monstrous manner with the biochemistry of the brain to make the gesture of suicide even desired.
And who does it, it usually does so in a totally peaceful manner.
Usually, in fact, nothing transpires, indeed.
So what happens in reality?
The person begins to suffer from "depression" for whatever reason, whether it be organic, psychological, environmental, or all three.
The person goes to a psychiatrist (when not by simple GP), which requires, in five-minute visit, an antidepressant SSRI or SNRI, without investigating, without understanding the basics of the problem, without anything.
The victim begins to take drugs, and the cases are divided here:
Option "1": after a few weeks of nausea, side effects of any kind, blunders, physical discomfort, the person begins to "feel good", that is, and in the face he so-called "smile like a madman" appears, and all shout to miracle. In this case we have a person that is likely to remain chained for life to the drug, or will take it forever with periods of suspension:
option "2": the person feels bad from the very beginning, with episodes of strong mental and physical destabilization . And usually the psychiatrist, ignorant on the subject, thinks that the body should "get used" to the drug (such as whether it is possible to get used to a poison!) And says to hold on. This leads to the inevitable suicide by hanging, if not to other acts of violent against themselves and others;
option "3": the person feels bad from the very beginnin, with episodes of strong mental and physical destabilization . In this case, however, the doctor, even ignorantly, after a period with no results, raises your dose. This leads to the inevitable suicide by hanging, if not to other acts of violent against themselves and others.
I fully understand that summarize the immense series is utopian, but also presumptuous.
But what I do understand is that these particular categories of drugs lead to suicide, making it a normal gesture.
So if you have a loved one who has, however, decided to take these drugs, absolutely monitor them during:
-the earliest stages (even before the first pill);
-every time you decide to raise your dose;
-when you scale to wean off of it, or even to try to assume a lower dose.
And, no doctor will ever tell you, pay great attention to periods of calm.
Suicide by hanging, so typical of these drugs, comes into being in complete calm.
A large number of cases, especially in the United States, have shown that those who committed these acts seemed very calm, some has even had dinner with loved ones, and then go hang in the tavern or in their own room.
This happens even in children, as Candace Downing, who committed suicide at 12 years old by hanging while taking Zologt.
And for those who still decided to take these drugs: at the first thought of death, talk immediately to a loved one.
Because when the drug has taken control of your actions, you will not be you.
NOTE:
Three consecutive years of commitment and sacrifices have brought this blog to become a small beacon in the night with regards to natural hygiene and vegan diet in relation to everything that concerns the world of mental health.
We started from scratch and in that time many people have finally figured out that there is an alternative to stuffing of unidentified chemicals that kill the body and soul.
The drugs are and will remain killer pills.
The book is finally ready. " MURDERERS IN PILLS: modern psychiatry as seen through the eyes of a policeman. "
What will you read? Everything that psychiatrists will never tell you.
What these drugs really are, the ease with which they are prescribed, the total failure of modern psychiatry.
And yet ... the dark side of psychotropic drugs that turn ordinary people into rapists, murderers of themselves and of the others.
And yet ... the alternative "non-violent", related to lifestyle and food, to get to solve a problem and not to hide it.
And yet ... the close link between what we eat and how we feel, even on a mental level.
All of this seen by a police officer, with 20 years of experience.
Not to mention the act of weaning off, for many people the hell down to earth, and psychiatry in the elderly. There is lots and lots to read.
This blog will continue its work to support everybody in need.
Buying the book should be a personal choice, knowing that every copy sold will mean helping this man in this informative task.
And anyone who takes drugs, through this reading will finally understand that there is an alternative to being lobotomized for ever.
