FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT
The Winnendon, Germany school shooting, which left 17 dead including the gunman, appears to be the latest in the chain of psychiatric drug-induced school shootings. A March 15 article in Scotland on Sunday, revealed that the shooter, Tim Kretschmer, "had been suffering from depression, even attending a clinic and receiving medication for the condition."
With casualties from school or teen shootings now totaling 54 dead and 105 wounded, the mental health watchdog Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) says it is time to stop vested interests from spouting their usual propaganda about psychiatric drugs, and instead demand a federal investigation for the sake of public safety. While the psychiatric/pharmaceutical industries have persisted in vehemently denying that antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs cause violence, CCHR is quick to point out that it was similar vested interests that stalled the FDA from issuing black box warnings on suicide for more than 13 years.

Dear President Obama,
Please implement this data base of patient comments on often deadly side effects of Pharmaceutical Drugs as a tool towards transparency in American Health care system.
http://www.askapatient.com/viewtopratings.asp
Askapatient.com is an existing patient comments data base where you can look up information about Pharmaceutical Drugs and record your own experiences.
For example, here is the listing for Paxil where there are 684 ratings for the drug in the data base.
The average rating for Paxil is 2.9 out of a possible 5.

It is often frightening but it would be helpful for people to know what are potential side effects of the drugs they are being prescribed. This is especially worrisome to me since my older sister told me her doctor told her it was normal for people her age to be on 5 or more drugs at the same time.
This is a low cost part of the solution as the work has already been done. It would merely need to be expanded as a part of the ".gov" web system.
Thank you for your inspirational leadership!
Sincerely Yours,
