Strange article. It says nothing of gun-free zones in the title and yet it does admit that no one knows if it is causation or correlation when it comes to these SSRIs. And then it goes on to speak about gun free zones, which really should have been the title of the article.
Indeed with the incredible number of people that have taken these pills, I think it is more likely that these folks just happened to be taking the pills.
now many experts are saying that it is dopamine deficiency and not serotonin deficiency that is causing severe depression.
I take an snri called Wellbutrin that works on dopamine levels. And that has helped me a tremendous amount.
I took maybe eight ssris before that. They did nothing.
To be fair this was due to a brain injury causing depression and the areas of the brain that will hurt are the ones that produce a lot of dopamine.
all in all I think in fifty or a hundred years they will think our treatment of psychiatric illness was barbaric.
and it won’t take a hundred years to know that gun-free zones are ridiculous. guns don’t go around shooting themselves off. Just like hammers don’t strike themselves into people’s heads just like knives don’t luech out and stab somebody on their own
“gun-free zones”
OMG. When I’m back in the States and see that sticker on a door, usually at my dad’s retirement home, or of course, on schools, I cringe.
It’s like an open invitation. “Please, by all means! Come in, you are so welcome! Please come in and shoot us!”
Those decals need to be removed immediately. They pose nothing but a danger to the people inside.
