A lot of school shootings, maybe most, were done by kids on SSRIs.

I'd be interested in seeing the hard numbers, but then again, if they didn't have "problems", they probably wouldn't be on the meds.

Did the SSRIs affect the behavior? Without, would a lonely suicide be the course of action, or did the SSRIs change the course action that to that of TROP practitioner?

I just hate to see beneficial drugs be maligned and/or taken off the market because the wrong people got them.

That's not to say that better qualifying criteria can't be put in place.

Sorry, but I am sick of allowing people to "excuse" criminal behavior just because they were taking a certain medication at the time of the crime.

The kid that is on Riddlin may be a miscreant, but he/she still knows the difference between right and wrong. When decisions reach criminal perportions, he/she should be held accountable. I don't care how badly the brain nuerons are misfiring, there is still a comprehension of choices and consequenses.
