I worry about long-term users skipping a day and going deep down a blackhole. Some correlate mass shootings and heavy antidepressant use (then rapid cessation).

That is a moral panic whipped up by pro-gun crusaders who want to blame everything but the easy availability of guns for America's domestic terrorist problem

Seems like an attempt to deflect from much more likely issues.

French people are notoriously heavily using antidepressants and still we have no mass shootings of any kind.
Legal access to firearms is pretty heavily limited in France compared to the US.
That's a very real risk. Do not suddenly stop these meds.
