Re: Violence Caused by Antidepressants: An Update after Munich

Mit englischen Sprachkenntnissen zu empfehlende weiterführende unfangreiche Lektüre:

The Medication Guide for antidepressants—a brief summary that the FDA label urges prescribers to share and discuss with the patient and family—summarizes much of this information and also warns the patient and family to be alert for many dangerous adverse effects, including “acting aggressive or violent”:

acting on dangerous impulses
acting aggressive or violent
thoughts about suicide or dying
new or worse depression
new or worse anxiety or panic attacks
feeling agitated, restless, angry or irritable,
trouble sleeping

Closing Thoughts

Four of five of these murders—Harris, Holmes, Wesbecker, and C.P.Z.—had extensive contact with the mental health system. Clinics and doctors, including psychiatrists, failed to detect and/or to prevent their violent behavior. Instead, the doctors gave drugs that caused violence or amplified any pre-existing violent tendencies.
