April 27-29, 2007 -- In a follow-up to our April 25 story about how the federal government is able to track those who are prescribed anti-depressant controlled drugs, we have learned that the capability to track such drug users is far more widespread than first reported. ABC News first admitted that senior federal sources revealed that federal records were checked to find out about Virginia Tech killer Cho Seung Hui's history of anti-depressant use -- the search having turned up negative results. ABC News then reversed itself and said there was no such tracking system.
Under Progressive Community Treatment (PACT) laws, individuals enrolled in mental health programs are automatically reported to authorities when they either fail to renew their anti-depressant prescriptions or fail to keep a mental health appointment. The first such mental health reporting program, called the Texas Medication Algorithm Program (TMAP), was initiated in Texas by then-Governor George W. Bush as a program to screen mental patients for mandatory psychotropic drug use. According to our sources in the mental health community, a private company, Comprehensive NeuroScience, Inc., tracks mental health patients and their psychotropic drug prescriptions and, furthermore, law enforcement has access to this data. Comprehensive NeuroScience (CNS) is a subsidiary of Big Pharma firm Eli Lilly, a company that has close financial links to the Bush family. As far as the federal government reporting to ABC News that Cho had no records in their systems concerning anti-depressant use, they failed to consider the records of CNS, which tracks those who have prescriptions for anti-depressants. If Cho's drugs were legally prescribed, our sources say the records would be held by the CNS system. Patients who stop their anti-depressant drug use often become extremely violent, a condition known as "discontinuation syndrome."
A number of school shooters were later discovered to be on legally-prescribed psychotropic drugs. Columbine High School shooter Eric Harris was on Luvox; Springfield, Oregon high school shooter Kip Kinkle was on Prozac; and Conyers, Georgia shooter T. J. Solomon was on Ritalin.
Cho would have been tracked in his anti-depressant drug use if his prescriptions were legal.
