And might that just have to do with the fact that mentally ill people who are likely to do such violence may be receiving (inadequate) treatment?
Yes, SSRIs can have very bad side effects, but how many instances out of 100,000 does it happen? All pharmaceuticals, from Ibuprofen to Viagra are about an “acceptable level” of such cases.
I personally blame the leftists making forced institutionalization next to impossible, because mentally ill people have a “right” to be crazy.
When the 'very bad side effect' is mass murder of children the bar is higher... Banning these drugs for young people must be considered. Most of these drugs do very limited good - something worth remembering.
I'm not calling for a total ban... but something close.
