A BAN by any other name- Joyce replies

[Guest guest]

He did reply, to his credit, but negilected to " answer " any of my

points. He had ample chance to highlight the risks of SSRI's,

additionally a point I didn't pick him up on was his statement that

ssri's are in no way associated with weight gain.

I sent him the link to the Gaurdian Article titled " Drugs for

depressed children banned " . To my simple logic a regulatory authority

telling doctors not to prescribe these drugs could correctly be

called a BAN

Dear Mr s,

In a brief TV interview, which was primarily aimed at

increasing

public awareness about depression and bipolar disorder, there

was not

sufficient time to discuss a whole range of isues. I am aware

of the

controversies about SSRIs; and for me the most balanced report

is the one

produced by the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology in

January

2004. I am very much in agreement that SSRIs, and any other

treatment for

depression should not be done lightly, and that with any

treatment, people

with depression need close monitoring. It is incorrect that the

UK has

banned SSRIs for young people.

Regards,

Joyce
