Relatively flat. Not close to a 400% increase at any rate.

"Overall, there were no statistically meaningful improvements in the level of aggressive behavior, as measured on a modified version of the Overt Aggression Scale, over the course of these patients' SSRI trials."

Or am I looking at the wrong sort of meds? It was SSRI that you wanted to blame, right?
I'm not just blaming the drugs because that would be no different from blaming something else. I do think that it's the person more than anything,and I think the drugs are more prone to relax their inhibitions toward such acts of violence.

Also what about the years following 2008?
