Psychiatric Drugs Causing Compulsive Violence

[Monica]

i think the issues surrounding why a person would commit suicide or have the need to express rage whilst on a medication is more complex than simply assuming the drug caused it.

Even the manufacturers of the drugs admit that their drugs can trigger sudden, overwhelming urges to commit acts of violence. And the evidence is quite solid: If you look at a list of mass shooters, most or all were on some sort of psychiatric drug.

Yes, they were already disturbed and yes their situations were complex...but there is a big jump from being mentally disturbed to going on a killing rampage.

Monica, it seems a little strange to me that you would absolutely deny anyone taking these drugs. Being on antidepressants, i know the help they can provide, but i also know their limitations and drawbacks. With respect to violence coming out of nowhere it might be worth noting that depression is sometimes referred to as anger turned inwards. When one door closes, another opens.

There are many people like you who feel the drugs help them. But so many others who've committed suicide or murdered someone, right after starting such drugs.

There are so many natural, harmless alternatives available, that I question whether it's worth a game of Russian Roulette.
