What people are saying
The overall tone reflects cautious agreement, with users referencing specific statistics like the 21.4% increase in antidepressant use following exposure, and debating whether the increase is a cause or consequence of school shootings. Words like 'devastating,' 'crazy,' and questions about causality demonstrate both concern and critical engagement, emphasizing the social and policy relevance of the findings.
Most comments acknowledge the research findings, with some expressing skepticism about causality or the implications.
Discussions show moderate curiosity, especially around the connection between exposure to shootings and antidepressant use.
Many users delve into implications, share additional statistics, and question causality, indicating deep engagement.
The discussions highlight the potential influence of the study on public debates around mental health, gun control, and trauma, albeit with some skepticism.
Abstract in brief
- Exposure to school shootings within 0 to 5 miles of a school leads to a 21.4% increase in youth antidepressant prescriptions over the next two years.
- The study compares nearby areas (0-5 miles) to farther areas (10-15 miles) to see the impact of shootings, controlling for overall trends and differences across locations.
- The increase in antidepressant use is less pronounced in areas with more mental health providers who prefer behavioral interventions over medication.]

@BrittanyEdney @FOX5Atlanta They are going to blame this on guns and there will be cries to have gun control, but 99% of these school shooters are on antidepressants. The number 1 side effect for someone under 21 is violent behavior, suicidal ideation and impulsive behavior. https://t.co/GyAwXWwfjs
@smbruins1 @BrittanyEdney @FOX5Atlanta Thanks to democrats 99% of them are on antidepressants. You are dangerous with your made up BS.

This can't be real. People who are locally exposed to school shooting likely caused by antidepressants are given antidepressants "We find that local exposure to fatal school shootings increases youth antidepressant use by 21.4% in the following 2 years" https://t.co/TpdHk4zj2J

@vturrisi1 @RealAlexJones This is a way better statistic sinc3 1999 every two years the people on anti depressants have increased by 21.4%. There have been over 240,000 students that have been involved with or come in contact with an active school shooter. That's crazy just saying. https://t.co/UBUwMEOlvt

@StephenKing study cites 2.7% - that 2.7% can net massive tragedy logically includes abrupt cessation of meds which can be impossible to track/control https://t.co/7ggtcOdBxr
@CarolCLawrence @stillgray There is a connection: students in schools where there has been a shooting take more antidepressants. https://t.co/toH1HcPKxl

A point that @cdcaron makes that shouldn’t be lost in the really critical discourse about collective trauma is that proximity matters. We are all impacted but not all impacted the same. Consider this finding on school shootings & antidepressants. https://t.co/JD7U2InhGe https://t.co/6ybXExPRPx

Check it out. The school shooting caused an increase in usage or the increase in usage caused the school shooting? Also notice the last line....... https://t.co/Xxj4RQn5Tv https://t.co/SwxtK2EOPm
