"SSRI's DESTROYED my life" and these mass shooters are all using them | Redacted News
Looking at the Claims: Antidepressants, Gender Identity, and School Shootings
There’s been a lot of speculation about whether a school shooter in Minnesota was on antidepressants or hormone therapy. Some figures, including the U.S. Health Secretary, suggested these medications might have played a role. But leading experts in medicine and research say this claim doesn’t line up with the data. Only about 4% of mass shooters have been found to have used antidepressants—less than the rate of antidepressant use in the general U.S. population, which is around 11%. Scientists also point out that antidepressants like SSRIs are safe and widely used to treat depression and anxiety, not to cause violence. While it’s true these medications come with warnings—for example, that they may increase suicidal thoughts in young people—they aren’t known to provoke violent behavior. In short, medical research doesn’t support the idea that being transgender or taking psychiatric drugs commonly drives someone to commit mass violence.
