...around 80% of antidepressant medications are prescribed by non-psychiatrists, including internists, GYNs, family practitioners, and non-MD's such as physicians assistants and nurse practitioners.
Psychiatrist, Joseph Mason, quoted in the New Yorker
We have another super high profile murder trial here in Central Florida. Robert Ward is accused of killing his wife, Diane, in the bedroom of their palatial Isleworth home, just west of Orlando.
Yes, that's Tiger Woods neighborhood.
The case has all the elements of high drama. Fantastic wealth, bankruptcy, adultery and bizarre behavior by both Robert and Diane Ward. Some of Robert's is caught on tape from his prison cell.
I have no clue as to what really happened. He says he was trying to save her from suicide when the gun went off. The prosecution says he shot her.
Unfortunately, in his call to 9-1-1 he said, "I just shot my wife."
The sad thing is that Diane Ward had high levels of antidepressants and alcohol in her system when she died. Antidepressants can make life livable. But sometimes they can do the opposite when they get out of whack.
In any case, it's another sad story of sad people.
