A member asked:
Could anti-depressants cause you to stop being depressed and turn violent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually Not: Not normally. However, it is not unheard of. An individual with a predisposition for bipolar disorder may flip into mania on an antidepressant (which can sometimes be accompanied by violence).
