"i was put on olanzapine in july  for depression and bi-polar disorder.  as a matter a fact when i came to this country i never heard of bi-polar until about 20-25 year ago. today it seems that everyone you speak to has the disorder. why is that?  i do think that many people need to be on helpful medicine but not olanzapine which has plethora of side effect even reported deaths. my theory is this i think many people have been convinced by psychiatrists that they have depression and suffer from bi-polar disorder. in  the late 1980&#039;s and early 1990&#039; there were cases in courts for doctors taking kick backs for prescribing this very expensive drug  . could this still be happening today."
