Mood Altering Drugs and Gun Violence

I think there is more of a relationship between gun violence and Mood altering drugs like Prosac and the 20 or 30 other names like Paxil, zoloft, etc. than most people realize. When people are having various psychological problems some will take mood altering drugs. However, one of the side affects of mood altering drugs is they disconnect people from who they are. So, this takes away their capacity to have a conscience sometimes in regard to killing themselves or others. Also, another problem is many people don't realize what the side affects of these drugs are especially children or other uneducated people who might be given them. So, when they lose touch with who they are they are more apt to commit suicide. But the flip side in regard to understanding basic psychology is that there is really no marked difference between being suicidal and homicidal in the way psychologists view this problem. Suicide and homicide (including mass homicide) are actually two sides of the same coin. So, for example, if someone interfered with a willful person who was taking mood altering drugs and it made them angry and they were already suicidal what you might have is a person who is killing others so the police will shoot them. They are beyond help in some ways at this point from a psychological point of view except for being sedated (if one can find out who they are) before they start killing themselves or others. People who conduct mass killings tend to all be suicidal people in the first place and killing others is only a mask for their self hatred. But, they might not have the courage to kill themselves, but might (if they are too far gone to have a conscience) have no problem killing others first before they kill themselves or others.

So, I think what I'm talking about here regarding all the problems illustrated above might be important in understanding what is going through the minds of people killing others or themselves or killing others so someone else will shoot or kill them to put them out of their misery.

The other problem here is people in this state of mind might not care what weapon they use. If they didn't have a gun they might use a car, or truck or bus to kill people or any blunt instrument or even poison. So, though you might theoretically keep guns out of the hands of these kinds of people you are not going to stop them killing using some other means. I think overpopulation might be the biggest actual problem the human race is having in regard to these problems in the end.

Here is a list of "Mood Altering Drugs" presently available in the U.S. and likely Europe.

Later: In fact being a "soldier" in many different cultures is a way to commit suicide in an honorable way (within that culture). And in some subcultures of the Muslim religion this is what a suicide terrorist is who is interested in the mass killing of  innocent "Infidels". So, as overpopulation causes more and more people to self destruct and take other people with them it is important to know it is a mass sociological phenomenon that comes naturally with overpopulation. Other effects are rape and torture in this sociological world phenomenon we are presently experiencing worldwide at this time in our world's history.

This "overpopulation effect" of suicide and mass murder is also causing young people around the world to turn against all religions. This also appears to be a sociological effect of overpopulation around the world.

So, if we want to reduce this problem the best actual way would be to find a way to stabilize or reduce the populations of Earth. Otherwise, this will inevitably get extremely worse by the day until we do which will tend to dehumanize all humanity eventually. The inevitable effect likely would either be the end of civilization and a return to just a few cave men and cave women or a nuclear holocaust and the end of the Earth.

Though many people are against the "one child" policy of China, this policy has actually helped China to become a Superpower. Without the One Child policy China would now be floundering in just too many people to properly function.
