The question is, how many mass shootings have anti-depressants prevented over they years? How many suicides have they prevented? Hard to know- millions upon millions of folks are on them. Many are severely depressed. And yes, some do take their own lives after going on meds- but how many wou,d have taken their own lives and/or other’s lives had they not taken any meds? Again, hard to know
It’s impossible to quantify. Of course if anti-depressants didn’t work, nobody would be taking them.
I mean the author’s claim that “most” mass shooters aren’t on an SSRI doesn’t mean that children on an SSRI aren’t more likely to commit mass shooting than those who aren’t.
She’s using a logical fallacy.
