Because there's a more plausible link between mental illness and violence than between antidepressants and violence.


There are numerous cases where these antidepressants makes things worse with either suicide or hurting of others.  The person was depressed and these pills push them over the cliff.   Hell, even on their TV ads (shouldn't be any prescription drug ads on TV or anywhere) they have to warn about increase risk in suicide.

 

Actually, scratch that...  Just viewed Zoloft commercial and no warnings of increase suicide.  Must have put some company doctors on the FDA panel.

If it is because they are mentally ill then can't we come to conclusion that we are terrible at treating the mentally ill and that these drugs should be either reviewed more or pulled and a new approach taken to treating the ill?
