As the website SSRI Stories profusely documents, there are literally hundreds of examples of mass shootings, murders and other violent episodes that have been committed by individuals on psychiatric drugs over the past three decades. The number of cases is staggering, but the media has completely failed to generate a national conversation about the issue due to its obsession with exploiting mass shootings to demonize the second amendment.
Pharmaceutical giants who produce drugs like Zoloft, Prozac and Paxil spend around $2.4 billion dollars a year on direct-to-consumer television advertising every year. By running negative stories about prescription drugs, networks risk losing tens of millions of dollars in ad revenue, which is undoubtedly one of the primary reasons why the connection is habitually downplayed or ignored entirely.

Thanks for the link!
Another case and you guessed it SSRIs. And he was a psychiatrist. A double whammy imo.
I dont see these pills anytime soon being controlled. They are still being given away like candy. But pharma just doesn't care, its more profit on them.

The sad part is the government will only see this one way. That is the way that gives them the most power and control. They will step in and tell you that they can fix it with there superior knowledge and the way to fix it is to force more drugs on more people and to lock more people up in behavior centers and mental health wards.

All true. As well as pulling out the "well the fact he was on pills in the first place means he was insane. A normal person wouldn't be prescribed pills. So therefore it was the insanity. The pills just failed to work for him" card. Hate that type of reasoning since it condemns other explanations such as the SSRIs turning mild insanity into profound insanity.

I was listening to NPR about this yesterday. One of the things that the "expert" who they were talking to discussed was that this person saw their psychiatrist a month prior and that perhaps people with mental illness need to have more oversight into their lives.
This sounds like a good way for psychiatry to earn more money by increasing their visits with a majority of people. This expert also stated that there were no reliable indicators of violence, so it seems that all of this fear could just create more oversight and more people poking into the lives of those diagnosed with a psychiatric disability even if they might be doing well.

Copy, while I do agree with your entire post please, infowars? Alex Jones is bs and is part of the "conspiracy". Hes like Chomsky, he will tell you 90% of whats going on and keep hush hush about other important issues. Hes full of it and the proof goes into the financing of his movement.
If you want the cold hard truth listen to the theorists that don't show their faces or real names......
