Ban on Psychopathic Drugs

“It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”- Mark Twain I am all for banning automatic weapons. There is no reason to have those, quite frankly if the owner of a weapon needs more than a shot or two to stop the person endangering their or their families safety, they shouldn't own one. However, it is the 2th Amendment to have the right to bear arms and that was determined by our forefathers for a reason, regardless of the changing times. My question is where is the tough restrictions on psychopathic drugs?? Moreover, where is the ban on psychopathic drugs?? Psychopathic literally means a disease of the mind. A Personality disorder that has been variously characterized by shallow (including reduced fear, a lack of empathy, and stress tolerance), coldheartedness, egocentricity, superficial charm, manipulativeness, irresponsibility, impulsivity, criminality, antisocial behavior, a lack of remorse, and a parasitic lifestyle. Now unfortunately, this criteria fits the description of several people I personally know. Regardless whether the DSM or ICD determines, psychopathic drugs are the solution, its grand overall affect sways the opposite way. Psychopathic and sociopathic are used interchangeably. The term sociopathy is preferred by those that see the causes as due to social and early environment factors. This is where the moral judgement comes into play: an absence or indifference towards, or disregard for moral beliefs. As Farrington found studying a sample of males in London from the ages of 8 to 48 the strongest factors were "having a convicted father or mother, physical neglect of the boy, low involvement of the father with the boy, low family income, and coming from a disrupted family." Other significant findings included poor supervision, harsh discipline, young mother, depressed mother, low social class, and poor housing. From personal experience, during my time being a counselor at a short term residence for at-risk adolescents, the reason for their loss of direction (for lack of better words) could be traced straight to the parent or guardian's bad parenting. Which leads to a more crucial question, What is it going to take for society to stop looking for the quick fix and want a remedy that will last for generations as oppose to a duration? 2.5 million people are on prescription drugs to treat a psychological disorder in the United States. 100 percent increase in the number of children under the age of 10 are taking anti psychotic medications. This has surpassed the possibility of being a solution and has become the very problem. I urge parents to take a hard look at themselves and ask whether, they are doing everything humanly possible to promote a stable, trusting and conscientious living environment before allowing this to be the answer. Aside, from the unprecedented and vague side effects, theses drugs have on a child's mind. On a purely health perspective, I question the long term effects these harsh medications are having on there small developing bodies (liver in particular). To make a mistake is human and a big part of being a parent. However, to consciously continue making the same mistake is criminal. Money is no more evil than a shovel, for it is the hand it is placed in that determines its path. Likewise, guns and medication have proved to help and/or hurt a situation. Creation versus Destruction: will destruction ultimately be greater than creation?
