The following is from Children’s Health Defense.
Critics warn that certain antidepressants, including Prozac and Zoloft, may increase the risk of violent behavior, including murder. These drugs, prescribed to treat depression and anxiety, have been linked to dangerous side effects that can cause a disconnect from reality. Individuals taking these medications have reported uncharacteristic aggressive impulses, sometimes with deadly results.
Dr. David Healy, an expert in psychopharmacology and the effects of antidepressants, has been vocal about the serious risks these drugs pose. During his “Mad in America” webinar, Healy presented a series of tragic cases involving individuals who led stable lives before being prescribed antidepressants, which led them to exhibit aggressive or homicidal behavior.
One case involved 12-year-old Christopher Pittman, who started exhibiting violent behavior shortly after taking Zoloft. Less than a month into the prescription, he claimed to hear a voice telling him to kill his grandparents, which he did before setting their house on fire.
In 2005, Pittman was sentenced to 30 years in prison. While his defense argued that Zoloft caused his actions, the jury rejected the claim. U.S. Circuit Judge Daniel Pieper gave Pittman the most lenient sentence possible, acknowledging the complexity of the situation.
Dr. Healy referenced Pieper’s statement during the sentencing:
“It seems to turn the whole medical system on its side if you can’t rely on the medication your doctor prescribes. It potentially forces you into a situation of lifetime commitment if that drug induces an effect of which you are unaware when you go on it. There’s something disconcerting about that … probably of a legal nature, that’s troubling me.”
Pharma likely knows these drugs come with dangerous side effects, but critics argue that pharmaceutical companies downplay the risks to protect profits. Healy has raised concerns about the trust people place in institutions like the FDA, highlighting how hard it is for many to accept that medications could lead to extreme violence.
“The greatest concentration of ‘fake news’ on this earth centers on the drugs your doctor gives you. Not just the SSRIs, but all of them.”
Dr. David Healy
Critics continue to push for more transparency from pharmaceutical companies and tighter regulations on labeling, emphasizing the serious dangers posed by these widely prescribed drugs.

Dr. Peter Breggin has been writing about it for the last 40 years in a number books. School and youth violence was unheard of before SSRI’s were introduced into the schools to control classroom behavior. The authorities investigating the Las Vegas shooter who killed over 50 people mentioned they will never know what caused him to do what he did. They glossed over the fact he was on an SSRI at the time.
Even more of a problems when you fail to take your psych meds….personal experience.
Yes your correct. Once on them you can’t be taken off them suddenly. The person becomes psychotic. That’s where the disgraceful conduct of the schools comes in. Once the student who is on SSRI’s either quits or graduates , the schools no longer do follow up. ” Not our problem anymore.” In many cases the young person quits taking the meds and discontinues seeing a therapist since they are no longer supervised .
Dr Peter Breggin has indeed published much on this topic.
I have followed him for quite some time as I became aware of family who were taking Prozac. My research led me to Dr Breggin and my eyes were opened. Sadly, many do not want to hear the truth of these dastardly prescriptions.
