Drugs are very dangerous, especially the legal ones.
I tried an antidepressant several months ago to see if it would reduce my tiredness. I'm normally one of the calmest people you could meet, but it resulted in me having extreme anxiety/panic attacks and crying fits. I essentially became an entirely different person. It got so bad that I had to go to the hospital and be put in an observation room. I can certainly understand someone who is on drugs long-term suddenly flipping **** and killing a bunch of people... I couldn't even handle it for 3 days, yet tons of people have been living on em for years.
now called ADHD, you used to get him involved with sports or get him out in the great outdoors or some other outlet for his pent up energy. Now, give him mild altering drugs.

I am on the verge of total exhaustion regarding the subject of spree killers....People are, quite understandably, emotional over the stress.
Yeah, and that HUGE elephant is television
Meanwhile we seem to be ignoring the HUGE elephant in the room with us.
Again, how does that affect your life? Unless, you prescribe to their medicine because of your "emotional stress".
There is a special interest group behind it all, IMO.... I speak of the legal drug dealers today. I am talking about big pharma and their profit generating chemical

So we are in agreement that quite a few already on this thread have/are taking these meds, and unless theres something your not telling us, NONE of us have commited these attrocities. They have even SAVED lives as you can see. My point being that as well written and thought out this thread is, the medicines are NOT the problem as we can see.

These events haven't affected my life, whatsoever. Not sure exactly, HOW or WHY they would be affecting yours? Unless, of course, a loved one was involved.

As a matter of fact, the reason why people are so depressed, is because they eat negativity. Incidents like Sandy Hook happen, and people sit in front of the TELEVISION....absorbing these negative vibes...that are planted in the back on the subconscious mind. Not sure which part of that....people haven't grasped yet?
Television does 2 things: it plays the part of depressing people, inconspicuously; then it advertises a healing medicine, to make the pain go away.
If you're gonna blame something....blame people plugged into the matrix. Big pharma is only pushing it's product on you...because it KNOWS you're tuned in. I don't do drugs...i don't drink...i don't need anything to mask my problems. All i have to do...is face them...HEAD ON!
Bottom line is this: TURN OFF THE FRIGGIN TELEVISION!

SSRIs are definitely a major problem. Yes, for many people, they feel they benefit from them, and probably do. The problem is, those who prescribe them don't really understand the science of the brain or the drug well enough to do so safely (at least, not in anything approaching 100%.) it's not to say doctors are stupid - the problem is, NOBODY knows exactly how it all works, or exactly how they will affect each person, or what types of therapy may be necessary alongside the mind-altering drugs they are prescribing.
