David Carmichael

David Carmichael took the life of his 11-year-old son, Ian, in 2004, three weeks after starting the SSRI antidepressant Paxil. He was judged not criminally responsible on account of a mental disorder. In May 2023, David compared his story to Lindsay Clancy’s in the MIA blog post SSRIs, Lindsay Clancy, and Me. In October 2023, he provided some of Lindsay’s family, friends, former colleagues, and former neighbours with insight into his homicidal psychotic episode during a presentation in Duxbury, Massachusetts. David currently manages the Know Your Drugs global awareness campaign.
