'A Canadian judge has ruled that a teenage boy murdered his friend because of the effects of Prozac. The ruling will not be appealed. The decision has revived the debate regarding the widespread prescription of antidepressants to young people.
Justice Robert Heinrichs ruled that the 15-year-old boy was under the influence of the medication when he stabbed and killed a close friend.
