“Jamie Hoole killed himself two months after having sexorat drugsbeen given the GlaxoSmithKline drug Paxil (sold in the UK as Seroxat) for Depression.   GlaxoSmithKline is best known to British consumers as the maker of the family-friendly brand Lucozade.  His mother Jean Bambrough is convinced he would still be alive had it not been for the drug.”  “It was like prescribing him a loaded gun,”’ she is quoted as saying in the Daily Mail, Tuesday July 3rd. 
The side-effects of Seroxat can seem to have much in common with Russian Roulette.  I recall many years ago, a client who came to recover from a broken heart, who told the story of the transformation of a girlfriend prescribed Seroxat.  In that case, the woman began shop-lifting and engaging in other behaviours seemingly very contrary to her nature.  It seems to be that Seroxat can trigger behavioural changes that are in the extreme.
Earlier this month GlaxoSmithKline agreed to pay American authorities a record fine of £1.9bn after indulging in egregious behaviour.  Poor sales practices, that included free golf lessons and fishing trips for doctors willing to listen, had led to the drug being prescribed, on some occasions, to patients even younger than Jamie Hoole ― patients for whom it was unsuitable.   The result was that it induced suicidal tendencies and actual suicide among exceptionally vulnerable aspiring young adults.
Back to my intention for this piece.  Young talented people like Jamie Hoole are likely ― owing to the extreme pressures from peers and society as a whole ― to fail to see the wood for the trees.  Jamie Hoole was seemingly unable to recognise his talents and his extra-ordinary future ― unable to see the treasures within.  Young people like Jamie, and younger, could be directed toward non-pharmaceutical practices such as interactive hypnotherapy to allow them to find themselves again, to discover the inner treasure, to open that box, and polish those potentially shining inner jewels.  Jamie needed to re-discover his self-esteem, his self-confidence, and his self-worth.  Visionary parents may direct their young offspring to hypnotherapy, for within their beloved child lies all that the child believes they ‘lack’.  A gifted and professional hypnotherapist can support the child in finding and polishing the inner, precious jewels.  Parents, when your child is depressed, or perceives him- or herself as lacking, … consider a humanistic therapy such as interactive hypnotherapy, rather than Seroxat!
