I understand your frustration with the current state of psychiatry, but I think that you may be reading too much of it into my comment. I had no intention of shifting any blame from the wholly inappropriate combination of prescribed drugs or the psychiatrist to the patient, and I used very deliberate wording to intentionally avoid making any reference whatsoever to the gender of the patient. The point of my post was to highlight that this case appeared to be a manic episode which could be triggered by almost any antidepressant, not a rare and unique adverse effect that could only be caused by pramipexole or dopamine agonists.
