More Uncovered in Malik Nadal Hasan, Fort Hood Shooting

Friday November 6, 2009

More has been uncovered regarding Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan's murder spree in Fort Hood.

As you no doubt know, Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, opened fire at the Solider Readiness Center (where soldiers go before deployment and after they return from action), killing at least twelve and injuring 31 more.

Initial reports were that Hasan was killed, however it is now being reported that he is still alive and in the care of a hospital under military guard.

When I was a child, my father served proudly in the U.S. Army. There was even a brief time when my uncle, also in the Army, was stationed with his family in Fort Hood. Even still, I can't begin to imagine what the town and its community members are going through right now.

I'm really not even sure what to say about this other than my condolences go to everyone involved. It is a sad day.

Was this psychiatrist on an antidepresant?

The Physicians Desk Reference states that SSRI antidepressants and all antidepressants can cause mania, psychosis, abnormal thinking, paranoia, hostility, etc. These side effects can also appear during withdrawal.

Go to http://www.SSRIstories.com where there are over 3,400 cases, with the full media article available, involving bizarre murders, suicides, school shootings [49 of these] and murder-suicides – all of which involve SSRI antidepressants like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, etc, . The media article usually tells which SSRI antidepressant the perpetrator was taking or had been using.
