  SSRI stands for Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitor, and it is a class of drugs that is often used to treat depression and anxiety. It includes Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa, Paxil and a host of other commonly prescribed antidepressants. And the perpetrators of a raft of school shootings, mass murders and other violent incidents in recent years have been taking them.

  Although the drug manufacturers are quick to downplay this connection as anecdotal or coincidental, mounting scientific evidence points to a strong correlation between the use of psychiatric drugs in general, and SSRIs in particular, and violent behavior.

• SSRI Drugs Based on Fabricated Medical Myths, Says Psychiatrist
  by Jonathan Benson, http://www.naturalnews.com/  
  (NaturalNews) The science backing selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, as an effective remedy for increasing serotonin levels in the brain and helping depression sufferers achieve mental “balance” is entirely nonexistent, warns a prominent psychiatrist in a new peer-reviewed editorial published in the esteemed British Medical Journal (BMJ).
  –
  Professor David Healy, head of the Hergest psychiatry unit at the North Wales-based Ysbyty Gwynedd Hospital in the U.K., says the entire premise behind SSRIs and how they supposedly work is “based on a myth.” Healy warns that the drugs, which have been linked to provoking both suicidal and homicidal tendencies in some users, have never been scientifically shown to balance anything in the brain.
  –
  The common misconception that SSRIs help increase serotonin levels and correct chemical imbalances in the brain originated out of crafty marketing rather than laboratory testing, he says. Moreover, the only reason that many patients continue to use these dangerous drugs is false hope that they work, which has never been proven.
  –
  “For doctors it provided an easy short hand for communication with patients,” warns Healy about the myth that SSRIs somehow normalize chemical imbalances in the brains of patients with depression despite the fact that they have never actually been proven to do so.
  –
  “For patients, the idea of correcting an abnormality has a moral force that can be expected to overcome the scruples some might have had about taking a tranquilizer, especially when packaged in the appealing form that distress is not a weakness.”

  By definition, SSRIs are unproven quack medicine
