Following recent media reports of high-profile mass shootings, a Republican assemblywoman from Nevada is calling for an investigation into whether pharmaceutical psychiatric medications commonly taken by mass murderers can cause side effects that may contribute to their mental health decline.
According to KSNV Las Vegas, GOP Assemblywoman Michele Fiore says that, rather than blaming mass shootings on the guns used by the perpetrators, studies should be done on the drugs that many of them have a history of having taken to treat mental health disorders.
There should be no stigmas attached to mental health, and/or seeking and receiving treatment, but we should also do everything possible to better understand the potential side effects/possibilities of prescribing drugs whose primary functions are to alter brain chemistry/regulate mood, which as a society we are opting for with increasing frequency.
