Actually, statistically not at all. That claim is part of a huge Scientology money raising and recruiting lie.
Crazy people have been involved in a lot of shootings. Some crazy people take anti-depressants. They take them because they have existing mental problems. Well people don't take antibiotics, and "non-crazies" don't take anti-depressants.
They work about 88-92% of the time (which is the ethicacy ratio for most drugs of all kinds, antibiotics, anti-fungals, etc.)
When they don't work and the crazy person kills someone, don't blame the drug. Blame the crazy person.
P.S. Guns don't kill people. Bad people do. Guns don't kill people, and neither do anti-depressants.
Thank you for posting that.
The common denominator in almost all the domestic mass murders in recent years is mental illness, perps either untreated or off the meds.
Get ready for another round of screaming about gun control, both as a result of this shooting and the ones in Tennessee and Alabama.
Take the guns. They’ll just use explosives.
On the other hand, they've been force feeding normal young boys Ritalin for decades.
Yup, completely logical.
People are so trying to blame anything but the perp. I’m tired of that.
I believe you mean efficacy, not ethicacy. Unless there is a definition for ethicacy I’m missing other than the state or quality of being ethical (no definitions exist in the mainstream dictionaries like Merriam-Webster).
Just an observation, the word stuck out for me because I use the term efficacy all the time working on implantable medical devices.
