Cho Seung-Hui: The link between depression and murder

Doctor Anonymous on the psychological autopsy by mainstream media:

I could be wrong, but I’m starting to see people in the press making the association between depression and murder. Of course, this kid had mental illness and of course he was undergoing treatment for it. But, the implication that everyone with mental illness has the potential “to snap” and kill people – as being suggested in the media – this bother[s] me.

Update:
On the flip side, Ed Silverman wonders if Cho will be the new face of antidepressants.
