>> The United States is gaining a reputation around the world for raising
>> children who go on school shooting rampages. Earlier this year, we had
>> another one with 16-year-old Jeff Weiss, who went into his school on
>> an Indian reservation and blew away 10 friends. And guess what? He was
>> taking the antidepressant Prozac.
>>
>> Once again we see the link between antidepressants and violent
>> behavior. I was raising the alarm about this in 1999 following the
>> Columbine schools shootings. At that time we knew that those students
>> were on antidepressant drugs, but the rest of the world didn't take
>> any notice of it. The rest of the world said, "These drugs are
>> completely safe. They keep these kids happy and in a normal state so
>> they don't feel depressed." What they actually do, though, is detach
>> these kids from reality to the point they can go on shooting rampages
>> and not even have a clue that they're affecting the lives of real
>> people. It basically transforms the world into a video game that these
>> kids play out.
>>
>> It makes it very easy for them to cross that threshold and begin to
>> display violent behavior. We've seen this in the studies and finally,
>> after years and years of pounding this issue, some of it has started
>> to come out in the popular press. We're seeing a lot of warnings now
>> about antidepressant drugs and their ability to cause violent
>> behavior. We're seeing some of these drugs pulled off the market. And
>> slowly we're beginning to see the general public recognizing the link
>> between antidepressant drugs in our youth and violent behavior,
>> including school shootings.
