Genetic Metabolism Variations and the David Carmichael Case

David Carmichael’s story is used to illustrate how a genetic inability to metabolize certain drugs can lead to "toxic psychosis." Carmichael murdered his son while in a delusional state induced by Paxil, a drug he was prescribed for sleep. Although he was eventually acquitted due to his medical reaction, the segment notes that 7-10% of the population shares this genetic variation, yet doctors rarely perform the necessary testing before prescribing psychiatric medication.
