Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson have linked mass shootings to antidepressants.
After the mass shooting at a Texas mall that killed eight people on May 7 – the latest mass shooting to horrify the United States– Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene repeated the common right-wing claim that antidepressants could be responsible.
She blamed the shooting at Allen Premium Outlets on "mental illness, drugs, and evil forces" and said it was necessary to "study SSRI's and other factors that cause mass shootings," referring to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, a type of antidepressant.
Greene has previously made similar comments linking antidepressants to mass shootings, as has former Fox News host Tucker Carlson
"A lot of young men in America are going nuts. Are you surprised? And by the way, a shockingly large number of them have been prescribed psychotropic drugs by their doctors, SSRI or antidepressants, and that would include quite a few mass shooters," Carlson said during one of his shows last July.
Psychiatrists say that there is little evidence to suggest the medications could increase homicidal tendencies.
"Blaming medications as a primary contributor to the spate of mass shootings simply isn't supported by evidence, and to me represents more of a political diversionary tactic than a real scientific theory," David Rettew, a child and adolescent psychiatrist and medical director of Lane County Behavioral Health in Eugene, Oregon, told Insider.
