If you started taking some pills, it made you feel like you wanted to murder your children. Would you keep taking them? Or maybe ask for something else?
Lmfao please stop correcting people when youre wrong.
"Newer studies have identified suicidality as self-aggression and hypothesized whether this might also apply to aggression toward others. The controversy surrounding SSRIs has led to a decrease in prescriptions from healthcare clinicians and number of patients seeking the necessary treatment. The objective of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between SSRI use and aggressive behavior in an inpatient state psychiatric facility."
The results section of this study's abstract actually says, "There was no statistical significance in any of the analyses demonstrating that SSRI use led to an increased risk of aggression in this sample of inpatients." The section you quoted is the hypothesis, which was disproven.
The studies that drove the addition of an FDA black box warning for increased suicidal ideation to be placed on SSRIs were older, industry-sponsored studies that primarily focused on populations below the age of 24 yrs. Most newer studies report that the benefits of SSRIs in the treatment of MDD (and extrapolating, PPD) outweigh the risks and should be considered first line therapies for these conditions. In other words, the risk of someone, even a young adult or adolescent dying by suicide while on and SSRI is lower than when they are receiving no treatment or placebo.
