Virginia Tech tragedy and anti-depressants

Newstarget has an opinion today about this tragedy and the fact that the shooter was reported to have been on anti-depressants: www.newstarget.com/021798.html . I am not sure what I think of this opinion. I believe that there are times when PERHAPS a person may need to be on anti-depressants FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
I am not a fan of pharmaceuticals,...I think there are too many that are harmful AND that there is a pyramid scheme of sorts with some in the medical community and 'Big Pharma'.
At any rate, I know that there are some good things being done in medicine today and I continue to work for a large medical center here at home. I look forward to the day when I can work Waiora full time at home.
As a parent of 2 children who will be leaving for college before too long, my heart is with those who have lost so much in this tragedy.
Blessings;
Scout
