Anecdotally I wonder about this sometimes too. I took Accutane mostly because I had a parent that really drove me to take it (I think projecting some of their own issues with acne onto my completely normal amount of teenage acne) and I definitely feel like it changed my mood during and after taking it. I didn't drink at all on it either. It's a drug that you shouldn't be able to have a teenager take unless it's approved by a panel of dermatologists or something. I had no idea of the severity of the side effects from it when I took it.
