Most things mentioned here are not new, several issues are taken much too far. There is a huuuge step from restlessness and unstable moods to dangerous aggressive behaviour.

Some effects, including suicide risk are connected to how the drugs affect two basic categories of symptoms of depression: deep sadness and hopelessness, and lack of initiative. The latter protects some patients, they may want to commit suicide, but they're unabke to go through with it. Antidepressants affect both symptoms, but the initiative returns first, and that may be a problem: Still deep down emotionally, but now capable of doing what he/she previously only could think about. In the long term, the drugs reduce the risk of suicide, but there is, especially for young people an increased risk initially. But contrary to older drugs (Tricyclic antidepressants), SSRI's are not toxic, suicide attempts are therefore less likely to succeed now.

No matter what, antidepressants should not be used indiscriminately, and when used always under close follow-up by a doctor. Too many patients receive these drugs, and too many of them are left to themselves.

It could be bit difficult to discriminate between the effect of the drug and the condition being treated. And you can't really treat psychopharmaca as one type of drug, it's a very heterogenous group of drugs. In addition, there's also the question of other drugs used by patients, including alcohol and narcotics (I'm talking about the combination of substances here)

And finally: Withdrawal reactions are easily handled by gradually reducing the dosage over a period of 4-5 weeks. I've done it several times, when switching from one type of medication to another.

These are things that quite often are not taken into account in media (and in books written by people with an agenda).

I believe the possible effects of psychofarmacs are exaggerated. Significantly. But by all means: In trying to prevent school shootings, no stone should be left unturned. That includes possible effects of drugs. And weapon laws. I'm not jumping to conclusions, claiming that banning guns is the only sensible thing to do (Personally, I think it would be wise, but things are different here in Norway). But I think that question should be evaluated thoroughly, along with lots of other questions.

Thank you for bringing this up, btw.

pibbur who thinks it is important to reevaluate his opinions now and then. Quite often actually. These are his opinions at the time of writing.

"The news is out. The killer, James Holmes, who dressed up as The Joker and shot up a movie theater full of people in Colorado, had been taking Zoloft, the same dangerous psychotropic drug that the Columbine killer, Eric Harris, had been taking. According to the information released by the judge in the case, Homes had also been taking a drug called Clonazepam. How long do we have to wait until there is a thorough investigation into the dangers these drugs pose to society? It's far easier to blame video games and use the tragedies to target innocent gun owners. Big Pharma and their bought and paid for stooges in government must be stopped," says Andy Sirkis.

"It's far easier to blame video games and use the tragedies to target innocent gun owners."

No, I don't think so. We don't limit the game playing population to just people with some form of mental illnesses.

I didn't care for Zoloft at all when I took it, but I would hardly classify it as a "dangerous psychotropic drug".

Everyone is obsessed with finding something they can point their finger at and say "Here it is! I found it! Now the problem is solved!" Life doesn't work that way. Never has, never will.

I believe the possible effects of psychodramas are exaggerated but its important to check legal,licensing and other copyright issues.
