Logically, you ought to distrust corporate lawyers defending drug companies as much as you distrust plaintiff's lawyers suing drug companies. Perhaps you should distrust them more, as they tend to be very highly paid.

There have been many cases where multiple murders have taken place by people on SSRIs with similar behavioral patterns.

Here is an interesting book on the subject by a psychologist. He gives much evidence, both clinical and statistical, supporting the case against SSRIs, as far as suicide and homicide goes.
