Many young men are prescribed psychotropic drugs, including SSRIs, which are meant to prevent crazy behavior. However, there may be a connection between these drugs and mass shootings. Examples include Eric Harris (Columbine), Kip Kinkel, Jeff Weesa, Steven Kamerzac, James Holmes, Aaron Alexis, and Dylann Roof, all of whom were reportedly taking SSRIs.
Between 1991 and 2018, SSRI prescriptions rose by over 3000%, yet the suicide rate jumped by 35% during the same period, and mass shootings also increased. SSRIs are labeled as increasing the risk of anxiety, agitation, hostility, aggressiveness, impulsivity, and mania. An FDA meta-study indicated an increased suicide rate in young people prescribed SSRIs.
Between 2015 and 2019, SSRI use by teens rose by nearly 40%. In 2020, the pharmaceutical industry spent over $4.5 billion on national television advertising. Pfizer spent more on advertising than on research and development, and their revenue doubled. News coverage, including from outlets like CNBC and CNN, is often sponsored by Pfizer.
