July 26th is Aldous Huxley’s birthday, Aldous had a vision ahead of time and in his 1932 novel Brave New World he talked about "SOMA" a drug provided by the government to manage, control, and cure of any type of emotional issues such as unhappiness, depression, bad days, or any other kind of mood problem within society.
Over the last 30 years, the United States has seen a significant increase in mass shootings, which are becoming more frequent and more deadly.
Violence, especially random violence, is a complex manifestation of various thoughts, feelings, and external factors. When a multivariate analysis of these factors is conducted, it becomes apparent that it’s not just mental health issues that are leading to such an increase. There may be an underlying substance that plays a role in a high percentage of these violent acts – the use of prescription antidepressants, specifically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs.
At first glance, it makes sense that those involved in mass shootings may be taking antidepressants, as they’re clearly suffering from some sort of mental health issue.
