The OP has freaking schizophrenia. This argument might be worth having if we were talking about depression of ADD, but we're not.

SSRI Stories is a collection of over 6,000 stories that have appeared in the media (newspapers, TV, scientific journals) in which prescription drugs were mentioned and in which the drugs may be linked to a variety of adverse outcomes including violence.


Here's a though: if someone is sick enough to merit being prescribed medication then perhaps they are more likely to perform violent/harmful acts. There are millions of people throughout the world whose lives are made better by taking medication. For a minority the medication may not be enough to stop them carrying out violent/harmful acts, but we'll never know how many have been prevented from performing these acts by the very same medication.

The OP has stated that medication greatly improves his life. Your posts have nothing to do with answering his questions, and are instead disrespectful juvenile attempts to forward your anti-depressant agenda.

Don't get me wrong I can function, I can get through the day. The kids learn what they need to, I meet the requirements as a teacher. It's okay. But it could be great. I could teach without pain. I could focus far better and make better projects for my kids. I could study Korea more and even learn the language.


you just described everyone i've ever known in korea AND the US.
is not being as good as you imagine you could be evidence of mental illness?
please PM me the name of this magic pill that will let me enjoy my day job and learn foreign languages in my free time.


I'm not talking about spare time or even being better. I'm talking about hearing voices I my head and thinking at night someone going to kill me, or when I try to focus, the details of everything pop out till I need to pass out. Smart ass, I do enjoy my job. I love it. I work 12 hours a day and pay the fucking price to have the privilege of working with kids and in in lands when I do it. I just want to not be afraid, to not be pain if it can be helped. Do you know anything about mental illness in South Korea? And the magic pills I did take in the U.S. did allow me to study and function back in America without crying myself to sleep or cutting myself as imaginary people ripped me apart when I'm trying to read a goddamn sentence. Do you know any suggestions or rate you just gonna belittle me for having schizophrenia because you got such a better grip on reality. *beep* you!

Living in South Korea with Mental Illness
I wish someone I know who is crazy could get the necessary treatment, but without them voluntarily seeking diagnosis and medication from certified professionals, no medical doctor, much less a court judge, will do that coercively.
