Once again, the study apologetically tries to find an excuse for keeping SSRI in use, but the facts are unavoidable. SSRI use increases risk of violent crime.

"...The result was an overall association between SSRI use and violent convictions (Hazard Ratio
=1.19, 95% CI: 1.08-1.32, p<0.001, absolute risk=1.0%). In age-stratified analysis, associations between SSRI use and convictions for violent crimes were significant for individuals aged 15 to 24 years (HR = 1.43, 95% CI 1.19-1.73, p < 0.001, absolute risk = 3.0%) but not for older individuals (e.g., age 25-34 (HR = 1.20, 95% CI 0.95-1.52, p = 0.125, absolute risk = 1.6%)). Increased risks were also found in individuals aged 15-24 years for violent arrests, non-violent convictions and arrests, non-fatal accidental injuries and emergency contacts for alcohol problems."
"...However, if these results are confirmed, warnings about the increased risk of violent behavior among young people taking SSRIs might be needed. However, clinicians must weigh the SSRI-associated increase in violent crime against SSRI-associated reduction of disability, hospitalization, and suicide."
