"Chapter 7 Drug-Induced "Happy Faces" NOT ALL SEVERE adverse psychiatric reactions to medications result in physical violence and not all are experienced with grim purposefulness. Instead, the manic individual may feel convinced of the harmlessness of his behavior and even enjoy its outrageousness. He feels as if he's finally cut loose in order to have a good time." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Similarly, if a person was always a bit restrained and is now growing more agitated and aggressive, this is a red flag for caregivers to act on. physical violence is a major red flag. Although we tend to approach changes in character from a "medicalized" perspective, it is equally important to remember that we change at every stage of our lives. Certainly, many of us look back with incredulity at the behaviors, values, and worldviews we embodied in our teens or early twenties. On the other hand, getting older can open up freedom in behavior not present early in life." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"There are now many schools around the developed world where education is the least of the teachers' worries - they spend their days desperately trying to hold back a tide of low-level disruption, refusal to follow instructions and, increasingly, physical violence to classmates and teachers. The issue of discipline is as confusing for teachers these days as it is for parents." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.) "Bullying is defined on a UK government website as 'teasing and name-calling, threats and physical violence, damage to property, deliberately leaving children out of social activities, spreading rumours or upsetting mobile-phone or email messages'. With boys, it often involves violence; in girls it's more likely to be psychological, which can be just as damaging. A parent whose child comes home complaining of being bullied is understandably concerned, and can reasonably expect the school to take action." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.)

"In some people, alcohol's inhibition-reducing effect can set the stage for angry outbursts and physical violence. Similarly, street drugs can cause a wide variety of mood and behavior changes when a person is either high or going through withdrawal. These changes are usually more extreme than those that occur with alcohol, and they can include euphoria, hallucinations, depression, and mania. Among the many street drugs, cocaine and methamphetamine (meth) are powerful stimulants, and meth is extremely addictive. Addictions are a form of self-destructive behavior." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.) "Some of us inflict our mood swings on employees and family members, and others seem hell-bent on physical violence. In 2006, police reports from across the country noted a surge in murders resulting from dumb and petty arguments, such as disagreeing over a dress, using the wrong soap dish, giving another person a dirty look, looking at someone's girlfriend the wrong way, or accidentally bumping into someone. The Philadelphia police commissioner was quoted in the New York Times as saying, "It's arguments—stupid arguments over stupid things." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"He wrote in his book An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution: Inasmuch as the primary object of a government, beyond the mere repression of physical violence, is the making of the rules which determine the property relations of members of society, the dominant classes whose rights are thus to be determined must perforce obtain from the government such rules as are consonant with the larger interests necessary to the continuance of their economic processes, or they must themselves control the organs of government." - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.)

"Drawings by children often clearly reflect feelings of sadness, depression, anger or aggression in the form of tears, knives or physical violence. Any form of creativity can be affected such as poetry, paintings, music, literature, etc. Although these changes are most obvious in children, adults have similar responses that can be recognized easily once you are aware of what can happen. The key is to watch your own writing, drawing or other creative outlets. If there is a significant change, keep asking why." - Doris J. Rapp, M.D., Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call (Get the book.)
