<div dir="ltr"><div>I am not sure if this issue has been discussed already on Vision2020 regarding firearm violence, but it appears to have credible basis as a causal factor influencing violent behavior with firearms.  The warnings on some anti-depressant psychiatric medications explicitly indicate that the drugs can induce violent thoughts and/or behavior:<br>
<br></div>The following peer-reviewed study includes the following paragraph:<br><h1 rel="dc:type" href="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Text">Prescription Drugs Associated with Reports of Violence Towards Others</h1><a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0015337">http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0015337</a><br>
<br>Despite limited clinical study, numerous drugs contain FDA-required 
warnings to doctors or patients about the possibility of aggressive or 
violent acts. Among the drugs with warnings about aggressive behaviors 
are varenicline, zolpidem, montelukast, and all antidepressant drugs. <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0015337#pone.0015337-Pfizer1">[3]</a>–<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0015337#pone.0015337-USFood1">[6]</a>
 The mandatory patient Medication Guide for varenicline, the 
antidepressants and quetiapine warn patients to contact a healthcare 
provider immediately if they start “acting aggressive, being angry or 
violent.” <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0015337#pone.0015337-Pfizer1">[3]</a>, <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0015337#pone.0015337-GlaxoSmithKline1">[7]</a>–<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0015337#pone.0015337-AstraZeneca1">[9]</a><div>
