While not disputing that an anti-depressant is an influence in this Very Strange event,
none of the proposed explanations I have encountered look anything like adequate.
This is a timid guy {initially described as mild-mannered, well liked}
who suddenly switches to a suicidal mass murderer.
Nobody saw it coming.
By conventional thinking, the wheels tend to fall off one at a time,
over a period in which hints of abberration are observed.
Not this time.
Like pushing a button, this guy switches to an extreme change of values.
To a deliberate planned military-style operation.
Like he had been hypnotised and triggered.
But with no politics in the background - who wins ? from a bunch of dead people ?
Seriously. Important question - who benefits from switching Andreas to Robot ?
Who would have a motive for hypnotising Andreas and pulling the trigger ?
Nobody human.
But a mind-parasite fits the facts.
A weak character,
further de-stabilised by an anti-depressant
and plenty of freshly-dead to feast on
[sudden death releases more life-energy than they can get by milking].
These things are sort-of smart . . .
adaptive, as distinct from profoundly intelligent {ie no egalitarian conversation to be had}.
Enough smarts to put together a strategy like hiJacking a doped Andreas.
Those stories about demonic possession didn't come from noWhere.
At least one Jesus story in the New Testament
[demons driven into the swine of Galadrene - who promptly drowned themselves ! ]
Strongest hypothesis I can come up with. Sorry about that, Chief.
And as Sherlock Holmes famously observed :
"once you have eliminated the impossible, the improbable becomes the working hypothesis".
Paradox is where thinking gets most interesting.
