The relationship between SSRIs and suicidality is well established, as I understand it (but then, the relationship between the condition SSRIs treat and suicidality is even more well established).
I didn't think that was the case with homicidality, though. I went looking, and I found a lot of nutbag sources saying it was the case; that's no surprise, the claim has become a political football in the US (it's an attempted rationale for our mass shooting problem).
Are there very reputable sources to suggest that SSRIs cause homicidal ideation? It's a big claim.
(A quick note: for me, the first Google result is a BMJ journal hit --- but it appears to be a "letter to the editor" type situation, and opens "The FDA admitted in 2007 that SSRIs can cause madness at all ages and that the drugs are very dangerous; otherwise daily monitoring wouldn’t be needed".)
