Another mass murder, another link to anti-depressants

After the shock of the Virginia Tech shootings wear off, I hope that this nation will take this opportunity to ask this question: How much longer are we going to deny the link between shooting rampages and anti-depressants? The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the Virginia Tech shooter, Cho Seung-Hui, was recently on anti-depressants and may have been taking them at the time of the shooting. Surprised? I'm not. As soon as I heard about the shootings, I began to wait for this detail to leak out. Of course there would be a link because, as I noted in a previous article, almost all of them are. Ironically, both shooters graduated from the high school.

It's clearly not enough that the FDA put it's most serious warning on the boxes of serotonin reuptake inhibitors, warning that users were more likely to commit suicide and engage in aggressive behaviors than people who were taking a placebo.

For God's sake! Pull this crap off the market!!
