"Sociedade Prozac", outra vez!

A sociedade em que vivemos é dependente, de várias coisas, entre elas, de anti-depressivos.

Lemos
aqui, que "Newer antidepressants, already suspected of raising the risk of suicide, may also cause a few people to become violent, researchers reported on Monday". Ou seja, para além de outros efeitos ou consequencias, tomar anti-depressivos pode causar violencia!

E são dados mesmo exemplos, com base neste
estudo, "They found that people who took GlaxoSmithKline's antidepressant Paxil were twice as likely to have what was called a "hostility event" as those given a placebo".

E o estudo dá estes resultados, "They found that 60 out of 9,219 people who took Paxil or 0.65 percent, had "a hostility event," compared to 20 of 6,455 given a placebo, or 0.31 percent".

Mas, e ainda segundo a mesma
notícia, "the researchers said, however, that such violence was likely to be rare".

Não sabemos se é para ficarmos descansados!
