[Vision2020] 60 School Shootings Linked To Psychiatric Drugs Over Past 20 Years

[Donovan Arnold]

Chicken or the Egg. Are kids that are violent on medications, or are medications making kids more violent?  I do think medications are poorly used, often too early, or the wrong kind.

I am not sure if this issue has been discussed already on Vision2020 regarding firearm violence, but it appears to have credible basis as a causal factor influencing violent behavior with firearms.  The warnings on some anti-depressant psychiatric medications explicitly indicate that the drugs can induce violent thoughts and/or behavior:

The following peer-reviewed study includes the following paragraph:

Prescription Drugs Associated with Reports of Violence Towards Othershttp://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0015337

Despite limited clinical study, numerous drugs contain FDA-required warnings to doctors or patients about the possibility of aggressive or violent acts. Among the drugs with warnings about aggressive behaviors are varenicline, zolpidem, montelukast, and all antidepressant drugs. [3]–[6] The mandatory patient Medication Guide for varenicline, the antidepressants and quetiapine warn patients to contact a healthcare provider immediately if they start “acting aggressive, being angry or violent.” [3], [7]–[9]
