I've had medicine induced akathisia before and it was by far the worst thing I've experienced in my life. Unless you've had it yourself, there is no way to convey just how terrible it actually is. I can easily see why people would want to die when facing this. I've heard this is used as a form of torture in some countries. Being strapped down and injected with a medication that induces akathisia would make the most hardened individual talk.

Interesting, got a source that you had in mind for that torture claim? I'd like to read more.

  Other than having a couple of independent psychiatrists tell me, I have no source. I've searched high and low for years but have always come up empty.
