Wow ... what a press release!  I'm sure it's all bull.  It's most definitely a feed directly from Narconon to the press release service.  I'm sure this "J.K." does not even exist.

Narconon Louisiana drug rehab graduate traces roots of addiction back to psychiatric medications

(PRLEAP.COM) Now drug-free, J.K., a Narconon Louisiana drug rehabilitation treatment graduate, tells the story of how his addiction started and how it ended. J.K. spent his adolescent years under the care of a psychiatrist. He started seeing the doctor when he was 12 or 13 up until the time he was 19 years old. Ten to fifteen minutes into his first visit he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, anxiety and unstable emotions. He was given Zoloft, Atavan, and Klonopin as treatment.

Not only were J.K.’s symptoms not helped by the drugs, but because of the side effects of the Zoloft he began experiencing suicidal thoughts. Due to these side effects his medication was switched to Welbutrin, which not only increased his suicidal thoughts, but caused him to overdose on his medications in what would be his first suicide attempt. The FDA has since placed a black box warning on antidepressants warning of this occurrence in adolescents and young adults.

In a recent interview J.K. explains that because of what he had been told by his psychiatrist, he began to think that everything he was thinking or feeling could be controlled by some kind of pill or substance.

"Most times, these substances could be found in my own home, inside little orange prescription bottles," he explains, "[But then] I began developing addictive personality traits by turning to street drugs, like marijuana, cocaine, and pain killers to numb my emotions. Why? Because, essentially, I had been told that having emotions is a disease that requires treatment, or ‘management’."
