Your reasoning and conclusions are flawed because you are presenting something as a universal fact, that is based solely on YOUR personal experience.

you wrote "It does NOT even have a CASUAL link to mood. My mood was never affected at all..."

and your conclusion, again was "It does NOT have any casual link to mood."

The facts are, as of december 2000 the fda has received 1,373 report of psychiatric problems associated with accutaine, of these 66 were suicides. Depression has been listed as a possible side effect on Accutane's label since 1986.

another fact, During the drug trial, 26 out of 600 patients experienced psychiatric problems.

Also, there is a condition known as hypervitaminosis, in this case, hypervitaminosis A. There have been a few documented reports of psychiatric reactions, including schizophrenia and psychosis.
