According to reports, Cho seldom spoke. Could it be he was taking too many drugs? It does seem that all these mass killers are on drugs. Agreed, that does not mean the drugs are the cause but it is suspicious.

I have seen first hand the damage these drugs can do to kids. Natural therapies, such as fish oil and zinc, etc., should be tried first. It does not appear to me that medicine is willing to try it.

What people seem to forget is that even with drugs, depressed people need to be in regular competent counseling!

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that it would be much better for anyone to use marijuana than to take such garbage. The desired result would be met, and pot don’t make you crazy the way these “anti-depressants” do. What is concerning to me is how quickly doctors will just throw such drugs at people. You could show up at the doctors office while so little as having a bad day and you would likely walk out with a prescription for Prozac. I got put on Zoloft once, and it really messes with your head. It seemed to help a little for about a month, but after three months I began to have some pretty self destructive thoughts that quickly stopped after discontinuing use of the drug. Those medicines can be very bad news!
