Psychiatric Drugs Causing Compulsive Violence

[Monica]

If the method by which psychiatric drugs work is similiar to emotional repression, it would follow that since repression avoids dealing with the situation creating the disliked emotions, one could conceivable keep thinking/doing/being in a manner which conciously generates said disliked emotions, which would then be actively repressed or stored away by the drug. However, it makes sense that even drugs cannot make emotional catalyst "disappear", and if in fact the repression offered is similar to sober repression (where a person just represses a situation without drugs), it would continue to increase the strength of the emotion into the subconcious, at which point the psychiatric drug, despite increased dosage, may be completely ineffective in repressing the disliked emotion, or may be completely ineffective in repressing emotions often linked with any repression, emotions such as rage and violence, say even if the initial repressed emotion concerned depression.

At least, that makes sense in theory. I don't think we'll ever have a so-called God's eye view of what happens in the minds of shooters.

That does make sense and may be part of how they work, but I think it's way more than that. Lots of people suppress their emotions for other reasons (like social conditioning) and never become violent; they just get themselves sick. So there has to be more to it than that.

Potent psychotropic drugs disrupt the neural pathways in the brain. Who knows, they might even invite in STS entities. (that part about STS entities is speculation)
