Psychiatric Drugs and Anger Management Curricula—A Perspective on School Violence

In determining any policy regarding school violence or in assessing potential common characteristics of teens responsible for school shootings and violence, the role of prescribed psychotropic (mind-altering) drugs and psychological programs must be considered. This is especially important given the evidence showing that since the introduction of the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressant Prozac in 1987 and thereafter, Luvox, Effexor, Zoloft, Paxil and other SSRIs, the Food and Drug Administration has warned that these can induce suicidal behavior and agitation, hostility, impulsivity and mania.
