Mass shooters & SSRIs

I may be making an invalid correllation here but why does it seem to be that most mass shooters are either currently, or have recently been, taking SSRIs? Are there any recent mass shooters that have NOT been hopped up on SSRIs? Are SSRIs a failed psychiatric treatment for nutjobs or are they working exactly as the glowniggers want them to work? Are SSRIs the Mk-Ultra Holy Grail? Has anyone ever benefitted from SSRIs and if so, can you describe how it feels when you're hopped up on them? Do they make you feel like you want to shoot a lot of people, or simply not care if you were to shoot a lot of people? Should SSRIs be banned for being a failure, or are they genuinely helpful for most people?

I don't know what to tell you, user. I'm a psych nurse, and I can't help you with your mental illness.

I'm on SSRI's. See you in jail.

yes yes yes
afaik all shooters have been on some "mood altering" substance
it actually make people lose any inhibition due to overflow of Serotonin and Dopamine

the amount of people on SSRIs that live normal lives compared to the amount of people who actually go out and do something of that nature is a very different number, I would say you’re over exaggerating but it’s just not scalable or completely observable is it

See, that's the thing. I'm 1y med, thinking about going into psychiatry but if the meds don't work, I should change my major to something more helpful to society, like engineering. I'll have to dig around and see if anyone has done any studies on the correllation of SSRIs to violence. I'd hate to waste 7 more years to be in a profession that is barely above snake-oil salesman.

Most SSRI are barely a few % more effective than placebo. We have pretty much no understanding of how depression actually works and how to cure it.
They did experiments on mice where they removed their brain serotonin and they showed no signs of depression, meaning the whole "low serotonin leads to depression" is most likely bullshit.
Still, they make fucking billions on antidepressants so they'll continue shilling it, even if it does a lot more harm than good.

Here's the mice study for anyone interested.

I have personal experience with an SSRI called paroxetine (brand names Paxil / Seroxat). My friend was diagnosed with depression some years back and was prescribed this medication. He got lucky and quickly recovered, and ended up with spare medication ; I was curious to see what antidepressants felt like when you're not depressed so he gave some to me and I experimented with it for a week.
The serotoninergic edge was apparent from the beginning. I felt a mild warmth two hours after taking the first dose, along with a marked mood lift that could easily be distinguished from placebo. Things appeared to affect me less, I was less stressed by external sensory inputs ; in a way I did care "less" about what was happening around me. This effect strengthened throughout the week. Things seemed more distant, I felt pretty content and apathetic. There was a sort of artificial, chemical distance between my psyche and the perceived objects around me. I was not akin to a NMDA-mediated dissociation at all (I'm thinking ketamine / DXM), more like this all-encompassing, low-grade and pervasive inner warmth that made me care less. Not an opioid-like warmth either, purely an inner feeling of serenity / detachment but without euphoria and physical side-effects. The feeling was overall quite robotic. Also less dopamine somehow, coffee didn't make me feel anything, I had no motivation to exercise, no more sex drive, less engagement in social interaction, this sort of thing.
This is purely anecdotal but I can definitely see how someone taking this sort of medication for months could suffer from personality change and feel less empathetic towards human life. Saying it makes you become a serial killer is a giant stretch but it does seem to transform you in a weird automat with dampened emotions so that's something to think about.

All allopathic medicine should be banned for being a failure, but within this paradigm it is isn't a failure because the intent is not to heal, rather to mitigate symptoms (stop healing). This leads to worsening the unresolved initial illness, plus new illnesses from being poisoned. Being in this perpetual sickness cycle causes physical, mental, and spiritual problems. That's why people don't seem human, because they're not functioning correctly.
Imagine believing the human body is inherently bad, and only man in white coat can fix you with drugs. I know it's what people are conditioned to believe from birth, but there comes a point in your adult life where you have to snap out of it, or succumb to it.

I will never be a pharmacist.
