I’m not much in favor of paying more just to drug them up.

Gun control laws didn’t stop any of them.

No they weren’t. Those places were horrible.

Every single one of them broke the law prior to pulling the trigger with the exception of Las Vegas.

CassandraJoe:

But you miss my point.
I’m simply pointing out the hypocrisy of blaming mass shootings on the shortcomings in Mental Healthcare availability while at the same time working to cut healthcare funding across the board.

I’m not missing it. Ineffective mental healthcare.

Which is not only completely unsubstantiated, but also has nothing what so ever to do with your erroneous assertion that sacrifices were made by Democrats to get Obamacare passed.

Rewriting history already. Big Brother would be proud of you.

Yes. And I’ve no desire to go on a shooting spree.

Are you 15?

Tilly_jow · 2018-06-11T18:35:12.754Z

Are you looking for a date.

And if you read the warnings on many of these drugs many have the warning that these drugs may cause homicidal or suicidal thoughts. To watch the adolescent closely for changes in mood or agitation. Most people just put their kids on meds and don’t read the side effect sheet from the pharmacy.

I think that psychiatry places too much of an emphasis on medication and not enough on actual therapy. Plus…meds are being prescribed by Primary Care Physicians who really don’t have a whole lot of psychiatric experience. Psychiatrists don’t spend any time talking to patients about how they feel or how they are feeling on medications…they just have the patient come in…for med management, ask a few questions, bill $200 bucks for 15 minutes and then refill the prescription for another three months.

To me that is as big an issue as any.

You’re the one who claimed that Democrats sacrificed to pass Obamacare.

Well meant try Sneaky but the obsession is with the guns and they can’t see anything else.

WuWei · 2018-06-11T22:23:51.749Z

Kons made some good posts.

Sneaky…too many people want to blame one simple thing…and that is what allows people to go untreated.

Brain imbalance, so medicate. But then treatment stops there.

The medication caused the problems…like ADD meds…so parents don’t seek treatment.

Blame billy’s…but no one shows these kids how to deal with a bully.

Parents don’t know how to say no…kids are spoiled brats.

Treatment has to encompass medications, individual therapy and family therapy. A holistic mental health approach.

WuWei · 2018-06-17T20:03:46.710Z

So has anybody watched it?

Yep.

“At least 36 school shootings and/or school-related acts of violence have been committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in 172 wounded and 80 killed (in other school shootings, information about their drug use was never made public—neither confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs). The most important fact about this list, is that these are only cases where the information about their psychiatric drug use was made public.”

37 school related acts of violence—school shooters and stabbings committed by individuals under the influence of psychiatric drugs that can cause violence

Medication isn’t always appropriate nor is it usually the best option absent close supervision and monitoring combined with intensive therapy.

Throwing a prescription at them and booting them out the door hasn’t’ proven to be the solution.

WuWei · 2018-06-18T02:29:00.054Z

I’d say those doctors don’t know what those drugs do. Look at the “opioid epidemic”. They’re treating symptoms and placating.

Okay, wait…Now i’m confused…

For the past few months, 2d Amendment advocates have been blaming lack of mental healthcare for many of the most egregious mass-shooting incidents (although stopping short of actually advocating funding for it).

But now we find that in many cases when perpetrators have actually had substantial mental healthcare visits, the drugs prescribed actually encourages them to commit violence. So lack of mental healthcare isn’t the issue, anymore?

Is there some new cause for this behavior? Some new issue we can blame for the perceived increase in violence? We know its not the guns. And even if it were, we can’t do anything about that.

What’s the new excuse?

Your read on this is bizarre. You are obviously having trouble understanding that it is the failure of the mental health profession and greed of the pharmaceutical industry, not 2nd Amendment advocates, that facilitate the mass murderers?

Samm,
Coming off of these meds is a real BITCH. They can cause a miriad of medical issues not to mention make underlying psychiatric medications much much worse than they were originally. They are nothing to ■■■■ with. It doesn’t surprise me as to the report you cited. NOT IN THE LEAST. One very important aspect of today’s anti-depressants is the little know issue of Serotonin Syndrome. Most of these meds are SSRI medications. They are serotonin re uptake inhibitor…which means that it blocks the body’s normal process for getting rid of Serotonin. Too much Serotonin causes all kinds of hallucinegenic issue varying from dreams to all out violent and often very real and scary hallucinations. I would venture to guess that this may be some of what you see with kids on Anti-Depressants. But the medical field says very little about it. There are very minor warnings about these medications causing this. Couple them with other medications like seizure meds or pain med…and you get hallucination cocktail that will leave an otherwise normal individual quaking in their shoes.
