Three school shootings leave 10 dead and dozens wounded - all have antidepressant links

September 13 - Dawson College, Montreal, Quebec, Canada: Kimveer Gill, 25, fatally shoots young woman and wounds 19 others before killing himself. In an interview, his mother said Gill had been treated for depression a few years ago.

October 2 - West Nickel Mines School, Bart Township, Pennsylvania: 32-year-old Charles Roberts lines up 10 Amish girls at the chalkboard of a one-room schoolhouse and shoots them execution-style before turning the gun on himself. Five girls die and five are in critical condition. All of his actions describe someone having a psychotic reaction to an antidepressant (see Dr. Tracy's blog posting at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1714357/posts).

With most of the school shootings over the years perpetrated by antidepressant users, the last thing we should do is encourage more depression screenings!! Some insightful, humorous articles about what's really behind depression screening...

Both U.S. and Canada require new ADHD drug labels warning of psychiatric events and sudden death

As the FDA halts additional studies on ADHD drug risks due to alleged budget cuts, they, along with Health Canada, have taken what they know today and ordered additional drug labeling, warning of the potential of adverse psychiatric events (aggression, mania) and sudden death. While this is progress, we believe the drugs should be banned outright due to their high risk-to-benefit ratio and faulty chemical imbalance assumptions.

Canada: http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/news/canada_world/story.html?id=184915db-5617-4629-9e4d-dbb1f9af2a31

Still no proof that mental illness caused by biology or "chemical imbalances" after decades of research
