While I fully understand that correlation does not equal causality, these are very powerful meds we are talking about here. 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.

The point is that if we want to stop or reduce mass shootings, we should look at the use of psychotropic drugs and determine whether they are over prescribed, whether they lead to psychotic behavior and whether those who take them should be under close medical supervision.

I'm not going to say that those meds have never helped anyone. But I will say that despite how smart the medical community may be, there is no way they can know exactly how any given substance, especially ones that are DESIGNED to affect brain activity, will cause any particular individual to react. And yet, they push that stuff like candy.
