Once again bullying was the root cause

[Pop23]

Tell that to everyone else who tried using drug use, both legal and illegal, as a defense. And failed.

It's used often to mitigate the sentence, but even then, it's hit and miss.

But no one has even tried it to mitigate a sentence.

Your argument is that SSRI's have the opposite of the desired effect of not being crazy... that it make normal folks crazy.

But we've captured a bunch of mass shooters alive. And not a one of them tried to claim this.

Not. A. One.

Because they'd be laughed out of court when they put medical professionals on the stand.

BBC documentary linking antidepressants and murder dubbed irresponsible and dangerous

Carmine Pariante, Professor of Biological Psychiatry, King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, also condemned the premise of the documentary. “There is no good evidence that antidepressants increase the risk of violent behaviour, and the extremely rare (and tragic) cases that are cited in support of this theory could be explained by chance: antidepressants are prescribed relatively widely, and so by chance someone on antidepressants will commit a violent act. Moreover, people on antidepressants may be suffering from some forms of mental disorder or distress that may, albeit very occasionally, increase the risk of reacting impulsively or violently.”

To keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them.

If you have a way to do that without banning them like every other sensible industrial democracy has done, I'd be happy to listen.
