| The article you linked does not support the claim you made. It argues that antidepressants may be associated with aggression or violent behavior in a small susceptible subset. That is very different from “SSRIs explain the rise of school shootings.” The “most school shooters were on SSRIS” claim has been studied directly: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31513302/ Their conclusion: “most school shooters were not previously treated with psychotropic medications - and even when they were, no direct or causal association was found.” |

| > That's a stupid comparison because other countries have much less firearm ownership. Okay, let's try being slightly less permissive in our firearm laws then, since you've just proven it works. |

| > other countries have much less firearm ownership. Interesting. Why do you think countries with lower firearm ownership rates have fewer shootings? |

| Lmao but the first part of your comment really shows the true reason other countries don’t have shootings…because they regulate guns…. So yea maybe some super rare cases of ssri aggression are real but by your own admission the solution to it is gun control. |
