PTSD does not carry with it a propensity to hurt others.

KT McFarland was on Hannity screeching about how this was the second time PTSD and our neglect of soldiers has hit Ft hood

No. Hasan did not suffer from PTSD. He had a Jihad. I’t a bit damned different.

Nam one person who shot everyone dt PTSD. Mc Veigh? OK that was 20 yrs ago and the evidence shows, just by the swiftness with which he was tried and executed, he was not alone.

Anyone else? NO

This is so bad the way they’ll spin it with the help of commenters who don’t know about {TSD

THey are champing at the bit to corral everyone in as about to shoot everyone.

I can’t remember the Navy seals name that was shot and killed by another
service person he was trying to help with PTSD!! This Navy seal was very well known to ALL FREEPERS wish I could remember his name! However this sort of thing does happen with PTSD, I for one would blame
the typical meds they had this person on, seems all of these mass shootings are done be individuals on some sort of antidepressants!!

It can but not in the way anyone is thinking. What I'm about to post is not Tin Foil Kookery it is medical fact. Given the wrong medications for PTSD and Anxiety can trigger a very serious adverse medication called Serotonin Syndrome. So? Some may say? So it can have the same effect on the brain as taking LSD. The patient can have hallucinations.

Here is the problem. Doctors due to media and FDA pressures rather than writing a faster acting benzodiazepine class medication {which BTW can not trigger Serotonin Syndrome but is the antidote} will instead without a second thought write scripts for antidepressants which can trigger this. Antidepressants carry this risk especially in cases of complications of other known or unknown neurological impairments. Most doctors including mental health experts grossly ignore the risk.

I am not defending what this guy did in the least. I am simply exposing a very real issue which I do know a considerable amount about.
