SSRI's are without a doubt the leading cause of divorce and mass shootings in America. The quacks in the medical profession handing them out like candy to people whom it is clearly contraindicated in, without any followup study and usually without any competent analysis of what the drugs are doing to these peoples behavior and brains. Getting my girlfriend off of SSRI's completely changed her life, as she was indicated bi-polar, and yet over 10 mental crisis hospitalizations with specialist psychiatry teams failed to notice the direct contraindication and continued recommending use of SSRIs. The kind of mental breakdowns she was having as a direct result of SSRI use is the type of behavior that in a male could lead to a mass shooting or other particularly crazy behavior. Uncontrollable flights of emotions and repeating panicked behavior.
After seeing her be "treated" by numerous psychiatrists who failed to take note or recommend cessation despite SSRI usage being clearly contraindicated on her pre-existing diagnosis, the last crisis we simply took her to another hospital, they concurred on cessation of SSRIs and all of these problems ceased. Of course, it's not possible to sue the previous doctors or hospital due to the laws that protect the industry.

While they may provide benefit to some patients, the sheer volume of prescriptions and the quite clearly linked effect leads me to stand by my original statement - without a doubt, they are a leading cause of both.
- chalst 4y agoThe existence of studies attesting to a link does not demonstrate causation beyond reasonable doubt.
