Is that why there are new guidelines about prescribing Prozac and other anti-depressants to teenagers? Because it apparently makes some violent instead of depressed?
No, it's because the lawyers have sued and made it that way. Psychiatrists describe depression as "anger turned inwards". Depressed people are already angry, and if you stuff that anger down by medicine, alchohol or mood it will find its way out eventually, one way or another. Blaming behavior on medications is irresponsible. But then again, irresponsibility is the hallmark of modern American culture. Blame anything or anyone, just don't ever blame yourself.
According to my pediatrician friend, troubled kids can be suicidal or violent but are often too depressed to muster the energy necessary to act. As the Prozac begins to work, their energy occasionally comes back before the full anti-depressant effect kicks in.
