FATAL OUTCOMES for KIDS AND TEENS typical for antipsychotic drugs, but Big Pharma wants to blame anything else

For a few decades now, truth news has been calling out the atrocities that occur when these kids and teens and young male adults take psychotropic prescription drugs for anxiety and depression. They go on these killing sprees, shooting up schools and movie theatres, and then often killing themselves. Big Pharma and Big Media hide it from the public. They don’t want anything infringing on their cash cow – deadly psyche drugs. Newly released data from the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has revealed 1,127 reports of fatalities associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) since the late 1980s. These commonly prescribed antidepressants—used to treat depression, anxiety, OCD, bulimia, and premature ejaculation—include drugs such as sertraline, fluoxetine, citalopram, and paroxetine. While the MHRA clarifies that the figure is closer to 1,102 (due to duplicate reports when multiple SSRIs are listed), and stresses that the deaths are not proven to be directly caused by the medications, experts warn the real toll may be higher.
  • Since the late 1980s, the UK’s medicines watchdog has received over 1,100 reports of deaths linked to SSRIs, including nine involving children under ten, though causation has not been proven and many cases may involve other factors.
  • SSRIs, prescribed 47 million times in 2023 for conditions like depression, anxiety, OCD, and bulimia, are associated with side effects ranging from sexual dysfunction, dizziness, and nausea to, in rare cases, suicidal thoughts, hallucinations, and cardiovascular risks.
  • Critics, including psychiatrists, warn that the true number of serious reactions is likely underreported, and some question the long-term safety and scientific basis for SSRIs, noting a lack of strong evidence that they correct a serotonin imbalance.
  • Experts urge that patients be fully informed of risks, monitored for adverse effects (especially early in treatment), and offered alternative support, as overprescription may address symptoms without tackling underlying causes of distress.

Powerful Antidepressants Taken by Millions Linked to Over 1,000 Deaths – Including Children Under Ten

Among these reports are nine cases involving children under ten, all linked to suspected side effects during or after exposure in pregnancy. The MHRA notes that such reports can be coincidental, as its Yellow Card system relies on voluntary submissions from healthcare professionals and patients. Nonetheless, critics caution that only about 10% of serious adverse reactions are likely reported, meaning the data may represent just a fraction of actual events. SSRIs are among the most widely used drugs in Britain, with NHS data showing 47 million prescriptions issued in 2023—around 1.5 per second. Reported side effects range from common symptoms like diarrhea, dizziness, and loss of libido, to more severe reactions such as hallucinations, urinary retention, and, in rare cases, suicidal thoughts and behaviors—particularly in younger patients or early in treatment. Psychiatrists emphasize that for most patients, the benefits outweigh the risks, and caution against suddenly stopping the medication due to potentially severe withdrawal effects. The science underpinning SSRIs has also come under scrutiny. Originally thought to correct low serotonin levels, this “chemical imbalance” theory has been challenged by a 2022 review that found no convincing evidence depression is caused by serotonin deficits. This does not disprove SSRI effectiveness, but highlights that their exact mechanism remains uncertain. Some studies even suggest SSRIs may perform no better than placebos in certain cases. Professor Joanna Moncrieff, a psychiatrist at University College London, warns that antidepressants can cause serious health problems beyond immediate side effects. She cites increased risks of cardiovascular disease, falls, and fractures in older adults—conditions that may indirectly lead to death but often go unattributed to the drugs. She also points to persistent sexual dysfunction as a potential driver of suicidal thoughts in some patients. Notably, SSRIs’ libido-suppressing effects have been so strong that they have been trialed as a means of reducing sexual urges in offenders. Public attention to this side effect grew when singer Lewis Capaldi discussed its impact on his own sexual health in a Netflix documentary. Medical professionals stress the importance of informed consent. Dr. Cathy Wield, an emergency medicine specialist and SSRI patient, said she was never made aware of the potential for unpredictable and severe side effects when prescribed fluoxetine, and later developed suicidal thoughts. She urges the government and MHRA to re-examine SSRI safety before more lives are lost. While depression affects over 10 million people annually in the UK, some experts—like former Royal College of GPs president Dame Clare Gerada—warn against overmedicalizing normal life stresses. Ultimately, psychiatrists encourage anyone concerned about SSRIs to consult their healthcare provider, as ongoing monitoring and transparent communication are key to balancing their benefits and risks.
