Did anyone see the documentary last night on BBC about the link between taking SSRIs and commuting violent acts? What were your thoughts?

Hi, I think you meant "committing" crimes in UK. Didn't see it as am in the US. Can you summarize?

Frankly, I still more concerned about the amount of killings in the US by the almost nonexistent gun laws.

I saw the programme. If they are talking about 28 possible sufferers over 30 years that is less than 1 a year. It's akin to saying don't walk on the beach in case of an rock fall! I think it was scaremongering.

I have only seen clips but don't see the problem in raising awareness of something as an interesting point. As long as it made clear most people are fine I suppose it helps family and health professionals to know it's a possibility and what to look our for.
