Re: Over Half will get a Diagnosable mental disorder

Ambien is a medication with psychotropic effects. Lots of medications are. Problem is many medications are prescribed for their side effects instead of the main label use. For example, Valium is a mild sedative, but it is also a mild muscle relaxant that does not have the risk of flexeril or the allergy problems with skelaxin. There are many benign medical conditions that have muscle tension as a symptom. I imagine that would make little difference to a gun grabber.
The medical records of millions of Americans should not be judged by non-medical people for what medications or conditions warrant a concern a person is not competent to own guns. Certain mental conditions are known to be a risk for violent behavior. Those conditions and those alone should be the only criteria and even then, there should be independent medical review. If you take a mentally ill person to a dozen psychiatrists, you are apt to get at least a half dozen different diagnoses. If you take a perfectly normal person to a dozen psychiatrists, you are apt to get the same thing. As has been pointed out, follow the money.
