I wouldn't ban them all together. There are some medications that have been very helpful in controlling mental disease in a lot of patients. But there needs to be a long look at the rate they're being prescribed by some doctors and realistic alternatives to medication if possible.
Unfortunately when states do this, you see a rise in illegal drugs like heroin because of the reduced availability of the prescription drugs they became addicted to. But that's just part of it.

There's usually a link between the mass shooters and prescription drug use. But usually it's that they stopped taking their drugs. Based just on the letter, that appears to be the case here as well.

I'm not saying that everyone should take pills all the time. But perhaps some people should be allowed to take a happy pill every day if they so choose. All heavily dependent on circumstances and not really a comment directed at this situation.

The guy knew what he was doing. I dont care for his mental issues stance. It's a crock.
