Could you please provide a credible source or two for the heated claim that "antipsychotic drugs[,] which are known to cause permanent brain damage"?

I took it upon myself out of interest as well, it's real.

don't like that one? Google: antipsychotic medications cause brain damage
(Not my input Google helped a bit).

You say that like you are a member of the cult of scientology.

There is a myth that all mass shooters are on anti-depressants.

(1) It's false. For example the Sandy Hook shooter had no medication in his bloodstream.
(2) The origin of the myth is a scientology front
(3) Mass-shootings are a form of suicide and anti-depressants reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
(4) Anti-psychotics cut homicide rates in patients by 93%
(5) People who are happy don't commit suicide. Given that some 20% of the adult population is taking anti-depressants it is not surprising that some mass-shooters would be on anti-depressants. It would be anomalous if they weren't.

Of course, doctor/patient confidentiality rules often prevent hard core analysis. In the case of mass shootings and such, we ought to consider changing the rules so that we can grasp fully the links between shootings and drugs. Sticking ones head in the sand and claiming ignorance is not really a good option.

I don't really have bandwidth to fact-check this. There are a lot of trends and correlation is not necessarily causation. Mass shootings are defintiely on the rise in this country as are metal detectors in high schools. Also a lot of professional criminals are moving from physical to virtual crimes which may involve less gun violence.

Everyone of those mass shooters were involved with supervised psychotropic drugs.

Another Mass Shooting, Another Psychiatric Drug? Federal Investigation Long Overdue

She did. He'd been seeing a psychiatrist regularly for five years, and was on medication.

Next asshole comment please?
