interestrateripoff Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 That seems a hell of a jump... www.wnd.com/2013/01/top-psychiatrist-meds-behind-school-massacres/ NEW YORK – If lawmakers and authorities are truly concerned about stopping gun violence in schools, they need to take a close look at the prescription of psychotropic drugs for children and young people, says a leading psychiatrist.In an exclusive in-person interview in New York City with WND, London-based Dr. David Healy criticized pharmaceutical companies that have made billions of dollars marketing Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, known as SSRIs. Psychotropic drugs “prescribed for school children cause violent behavior,” Healy stated. .. The drugs can make children “aggressive and hostile,” he noted. “Children taking SSRI drugs are more likely to harm or to injure other children at school,” said Healy. “The child may be made suicidal. “We are giving drugs to children who are passing through critical development stages, and as a society we are really conducting a vast experiment and no one really knows what the outcome of that will be.” Healey cautioned that there is a very high correlation between mass shootings and use of the drugs. “When roughly nine out of every 10 cases in these school shootings and mass shootings involve these drugs being prescribed, then at least a significant proportion of these cases were either caused by the drugs or the drugs made a significant contribution to the problem,” he said. Sadly it's not a large jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
