Mental health shouldn't be ignored, but the drugs themselves aren't solely to blame.Look everyone. A lefty ignoring the well documented side effects of mind altering drugs. Had to be the guns. Back to that.Millions of people have taken SSRI's and other anti-depressants for decades with positive results. Blaming the drugs is probably not anymore of an answer than better background checks on guns.There are all sorts of side effects. Typically if you are on a benzodiazepines and mixing with alcohol, you tend to become lethargic etc.Or maybe a side effect, especially if he mixed with alcohol or other drugs.And the mass shooting was by far more likely to be due to the mental illness than from the medication used to treat the mental illness.
There are side effects and risks. Which is one of a few reasons why they are not sold over the counter.
Mood altering or SSRI drugs can and have been proven to be dangerous.
The side-effects of mixing benzos and alcohol causes extreme sedation. It does not cause homicidality.
Plus, we know that he brought an arsenal into the room several days before. So this was quite pre-planned when he wasn't on benzos and alcohol.
However different sorts of psychosis happens if one is experiencing withdrawals of any kind.
It is apparent that this person must have had a slow dissent into madness. Did prescriptions play a part in it? Is it possible he was experiencing severe withdrawals?
The point is all of those mass shootings were committed by people on mood altering or SSRI drugs. Which, all have documented side effects.
The media will ignore those things. So will the politicians. Mainly due to big pharma and the numbers of lobbyists on their behalf in washington.
Depression, though, can get so bad that it twists the mental apparatus totally out of shape. Many say that depression is anger turned inward. Besides wanting to end your own life, it makes you so roaring angry that you want to take others with you. In doc lingo, that's suicidal/homicidal. Perhaps a Valium wasn't enough or he needed talk therapy along with it (depressed people seldom feel there's anything wrong with their thinking--or if they do, they figure nothing will help, anyway, so why bother talking about it).
Mental health shouldn't be ignored, but the drugs themselves aren't solely to blame.
Nothing to big pharma, over prescribing and the fact that ALL of those mass shootings happened to be carried out someone on one of these prescriptions is not worthy of news.
THE GUNS!!!!! CNN SAID IT IS THE GUNS!!!!! HILLARY SAID IT IS THE GUNS!!!!
Did you miss the word "solely?"
And the guns have something to do with it, obviously.
