She makes a good point though.
The SSRI are making people crazy.
I think I read some statistics that every school shooter in USA have been on SSRI
Those are just the ones that get attention. The SSRI doesn't specifically makes you into a school shooter, they just make you lose your mind completely
For example, one SSRI drug that was common 1-2 decades ago, made people get an urge to open their own skull in a specific place. Some did, using a drill or a hammer
SSRI will fuck you up
Not that it is an excuse though.
Because if SSRI are used as a get out of jail for free card then everyone who wan't to commit murder just have to get a prescription of SSRI and then commit murder
It is not as if everyone who are on SSRI get mental. Most get there sooner or later, depending on how long and how much they are on
But whether someone will actually act out on their SSRI induced extremely disturbing impulses or not i don't know, is it character
is the SSRI just a trigger?

I think about 30% of the US is on these drugs. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World came true.
We still can't just excuse people's homicidal behavior to the drugs they took. If I smoked a bunch of meth and then killed somebody, I should not get off because I said the drugs made me do it.
Drugs, illegal or on prescription are not excuses to commit murder.
But the drug dealer might get a pretty hard punishment while the SSRI promoting doctors live safe in mansions.
While the brains of the patients who trusted them and came to them for help are rotting away.
@EvolLove @Bernard The pharma corps and doctors should have some liability — they're 'trusted' and most people blindly believe these drugs will help and have no idea of the horrendous side effects. If the person having the psycho breakdown is liable, they should shoulder some of that burden as well.
@MrPierrey @EvolLove
I agree the makers and pushers of SSRI's should be prosecuted. The harms have been known for quite some time. This is why those taking them should not be absolved of guilt.

I like the standard solution that cone from free marketing and minimalist govearnment:
There is an investigation and a trial where they determine if the company is liable for damages. If yes, their liability insurance covers everything. Then the insurance company decides by how much they cause their premiums or drop them entirely.
