Comprehensive. Worth a look.

1. Interesting. And then the chicken or the egg theory.

But it asks some interesting questions as to who has access to medical care and prescriptions, and any genetic component. This stuff does mess with your brain chemistry in ways we don't often fully understand, and generally the manufacturers are the last to acknowledge what patients know. All these drugs are just a giant experiment played upon the public at their expense. But it is all wrapped up into the standard of care, which is what drives doctors to prescribe, as it covers their ass.

Upon surfing for more stories about Adam Lanza, I discovered that the possibility of him being on psychiatric medication(s) has become one of the RW/pro-NRA talking points.

While the OP's link presents very interesting stats that could represent a correlation/connection with these medications and violence, I do not want to take part in NRA apologist's speculative talking points on this incident. *Not suggesting the OP is attempting to do that, as I'm sure he/she (?) may have just found the subject matter interesting in the same way I did, initially.

I hope this subject will be explored further by reputable researchers someday, but don't want to muddy the water w/this topic in regard to the Newtown incident.

As an aside, I could have self deleted, but wanted to explain the full edit without kicking up the thread.
