Alleged FSU Shooter Had Been Prescribed Meds for ‘Emotional Dysregulation’
Breitbart ^ | 04/22/2025 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 04/22/2025 10:45:42 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The 20-year-old who allegedly opened fire on the Florida State University (FSU) campus had been prescribed medication for “emotional dysregulation”; it is unclear whether he had stopped taking medication at the time of the shooting.

CNN reported that he “suffered from emotional dysregulation,” but noted that family members indicated “he had stopped taking some of the prescribed medication.”

The Cleveland Clinic says:

Emotional dysregulation isa brain-related symptom that means you have trouble managing your feelings and emotions. It’s often a sign of conditions that affect your brain or differences in how your brain developed or works today. It’s usually not a serious condition except when severe. Many of the causes are treatable.

Breitbart News reported that the 20-year-old allegedly shot and killed two people and wounded six others April 17, 2025, on the FSU campus. He allegedly brought a handgun and a shotgun on campus for the attack. The handgun belonged to his mother, who is a Leon County Sheriff’s deputy.

Playing with brain chemistry is a dangerous game, and needs to be closely monitored - which it generally isn’t.

The cops should have treated his dysfunctional brain with a shot to the head. Wait and see , this POS will be found innocent by reason of mental incapacity or some such crap. He’ll end up spending a short time in a mental facility, some liberal moron psychologist will declare him no longer a threat to society and cut him loose to kill again.

You beat me to it. I thought the Cleveland Clinic was a smart and capable institution. Now I’m wondering.

Yeah, don’t search the hard drive in their computers, just look in the medicine chests and nightstands, you’ll find your cause right there.

I wonder if the medicine is advertised on TV, complete with happy people doing happy things while Mr. Disclaimer reads all the horrible possibilities.

One of the indicators that it MAY be severe is when the patient starts shooting people.
See your doctor if dead bodies start piling up.

Heard a comedian describe drug ads as 5 seconds of benefits and 25 seconds of daring you to take them.

Translation: He was a drug user, which caused mental health issues, which lead to 99% of these mass shootings/murders.

Florida State University (FSU) campus had been prescribed medication for “emotional dysregulation”. Maybe they should have prescribed THC gummies.
