Did the Columbine shooters have OCD?
Question:
Hello, I just read Time magazine’s coverage of the Columbine tapes (Issue December 20,99). I’m not sure if i was reading this right, but did Eric Harris the Columbine shooter suffer from OCD? If so was he in treatment? The reason i ask is supposedly he was on Luvox according to this latest article. Shit my doctor just switched me to luvox from Remeron. Anyone know if he was diagnosed with OCD or how much of the stuff he was on? Any information on the subject would be helpful. WesternUSA1

Don’t compare yourself to this situation. This thing was long planned-out before the first bullet was fired. He was on medications for problems within his personal life.

Dear western usa 1, (1) Please forget about those two very ill and disturbed nutjobs out at Columbine HS. Even if one of them had OCD or depression ( I do not know what Harris’ diagnosis was), it has nothing to do with you, me or anyone else on here. What ever drove them, or anyone else to commit heinous acts, has nothing to do with OCD. OCD is a non-violent disorder and NO ONE knows what made those two little psycho’s do what they did. (2) Regarding the definition of OCD, it does not cause anyone to commit harmful or hurtful acts. That is somethimng else or another disorder that person would have. There are many types of obsessions, but the obsessive disorder of OCD, involves ZERO harmful acts. Read the DSM-IV definition or any shrinks definition of OCD in any book. (3) It is just your OCD fear (or GAD fear) that make you afraid that you will do something harmful if you take Luvox or any SSRI. BULLSHIT!!! I am not saying it is 100% impossible, because I am not God. But, in my opinion, the chances of an SSRI causing someone to commit a terrible and heinous crime, would be less than .00001%. Your fears have been written on here several times before by other individuals and are without merit. Take Luvox and any other drug that has been taken by TENS of MILLIONS of americans without any incidents of unlawlessness. That is right. tens of illions of americans have taken all thse SSRI’s for OCD, GAD, phobia’s and depression. (4) It is my opinion that the Luvox had ZERO to do with this kid being homicidal. So, relax and take these drugs for the reason they were meant for: to help people with certain disorders live better lives. FUCK FEAR!!!! TL

Hey Tom! You are the voice of reason! I need someone like you to tell my OCD fears to all day everyday, and have you skilfully shoot them down in flames in the way demonstrated here! Can I employ you ? 
Good man! Gee!! Thanks Peter for the nice words. I know you are kidding, but unfortunately, I am not employable. I did hear of a shrink in Boston that charges…….are you ready for this?………$325/hr!!!!!!!!! If I ever get better, I am going to "Shrink University" and put my ’shingle" out and charge BIG bucks to sit there for 50 minutes and say insightful things like, "is that so?", "tell me more", why do you think you feel that way?" and my favorite, "oh, our time is up, we’ll have to stop now"!!!! Thanks again and good luck with your reovery. Tom

I read what you said in someone else’s response, Mr. Luby, and I agreed with every word you said. I must be driving myself crazy! I know how intelligent you can be. I’ve never been in any doubt about that. — simon —
