Another problem with this study is that it's difficult to tell whether these results are significant. For example, if the prevalence of violent crime is 0.1% and that rises while on SSRIs to 0.119%, is that significant, given sample size and low frequency to start with?
There is also the question of causality. Are the young people on SSRI ON SSRIs because of an increase in irritability, anger and other, non-typical presentations of depression? If so, would the incidence of crime be EVEN HIGHER if they were not given SSRI's?
