And like I said previously, though they have undoubtedly helped SOME people, perhaps quite a few people, does not mean they help ALL people...these dudes doing the shootings might be in that last group...human brain chemistry is still not a fully understood realm of science. That is all I am trying to get at here. Besides which it seems they are oh-so-willing to throw meds at any and every little problem these days. Too many kids on a bunch of pills. And please don't try to tell me that they really all should be on those meds, there ain't something wrong with all those kids, there is something wrong with society.
My thoughts exactly. Instead of talk therapy psychiatrists (many of whom are of dubious mental stability) have punted to these powerful SSRIs. Whether because of laziness, lack of competence, or insurance restrictions, I believe they put some people on these medications that have no business taking them and should possibly be taking an anti-psychotic or anti-schizophrenic instead.

And no, I have not read an aspirin insert. Does it warn of increased aggression, elevated suicide risk, and worsening depression?

Re: Every mass shooting in last 20 years has one commonality

It's really as simple as reading the possible side effects on the inserts to these drugs:

From the Harvard Medical School Journal:

*Suicide. The risk that antidepressants will incite violent or self-destructive actions has become the subject of renewed controversy. One reason for concern is the increasing number of children and adolescents receiving prescriptions for antidepressants. When compared with a placebo, all antidepressants, including SSRIs, seem to double the risk of suicidal thinking, from 1%–2% to 2%–4%, in both children and adults.

Full entry is here:

Black box suicide warning on SSRI medication is applicable to patients 24 and under. Lanza was 20, Holmes, 25.
