Most of what any media reporter has to say is highly opinionated, even when it appears completely factual. This particular reporter is obviously biased against psych drugs, or else maybe trying to score browny points with the boss since bashing psych drugs is a trendy thing to do.
Having said that, yeah, sure, there are documentable cases of horrible crimes taking place while a person was starting, maintaining, or withdrawing from a drug. How anyone could scientifically objectively link that directly to the drug, I do not know.
I have suffered some pretty horrible withdrawals and some aweful paradoxical reactions on meds. Never wanted to hurt anyone or go crazy though.
Bizarre behavior has more to do with lead and mercury in my opinion. Since primary symptoms of mercury or lead toxicity are psychiatric in nature, I have no doubt personally that many many people on psych drugs are misdiagnosed and really need to be on low dose frequent dose chelation drugs instead of psych drugs. Opinion. The bizarre behaviors we see in the news just fit a lot better to how metals mess with the mind rather than a drug reaction.
