PLUS...people do not pop blood pressure, cholesterol, or vitamin pills during meetings!
Really, do you have solid evidence that in the history of prescription, OTC, and vitamin/mineral usage no one has ever taken any of those during a meeting?

Depression/ Major Depression frequently co-occurs with other psychiatric problems! Depressed people may have symptoms of psychosis including delusions and hallucinations!! Certain types of long-term drug use can both cause and worsen depressive sypmtoms. There are increased rates of drug and alcohol abuse and dependence. Depression is associated with many impairments including distorted information processing; cognitive impairments; impaired memory; psychotic episodes; disorientation; memory loss...and this does not even cover the physical impairments associated with depression!!
Interesting. You may also be aware that depression COULD co-occur with halitosis, osteoarthritis, otitits externa (swimmer's ear), ring worm, and possibly a bad hang nail. But I thought we were talking about what it actually is, not what could've or might be taking place in addition.

The guy has had issues for years...its not something that just goes away because you voted for him.
Parry was right to question why he pops pills!!
Never said it went away, but I looked over the platform of Horner, Dayton, and Emmer. I watched the debates and looked over the campaign websites and I picked the candidate I thought was best.
Parry has a right to question or be concerned about anything. And I have a right to question or make a comment to this topic about it. I never said it shouldn't be an issue to anyone, you're free to consider whatever issues you want.
QUOTE
The effectiveness of anti-psychotic drugs is questionable. So yea...depression IS a psychotic disorder and IS in the same class as schizophrenia!!
No, it's classified as a mood disorder. My book on general psychology says so as do most other legitimate sources. And according to Mayo Clinic the addition of psychosis is uncommon. And mood disorders aren't in the same class as schizophrenia.
