Many of these men, women and children were evaluated for legal cases but others were not. When I was re-evaluating about a hundred of these real-life stories for my latest book, <i>Medication Madness: The Role of Psychiatric Drugs in Cases of Violence, Suicide and Crime</i>, I began to see a pattern that I call medication spellbinding. Technically, the new scientific concept is called intoxication anosognosia: not knowing that you are intoxicated. <snip></font></p></span></font></div></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 14.0px 0.0px; line-height: 20.0px"><font face="Georgia" size="4" style="font: 13.0px Georgia">I am not critical of the occasional and responsible use of legal recreational drugs like alcohol. But I do not believe that a drug can help people solve their personal problems. Psychiatric drugs -- like all psychoactive substances -- work by impairing brain function, and when we're under stress and have problems to solve we need a fully functioning brain and mind. We need to be able to take complete responsibility for ourselves and to think through our problems with rational clarity. All psychiatric drugs impair those higher mental functions</font></p></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-peter-breggin/medication-madness-how-ps_b_223922.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-peter-breggin/medication-madness-how-ps_b_223922.html</a></div><div style="margin-top: 0px;
