Beware the dangers of antidepressants

The Blade's story that antidepressants may boost suicide risk in people

18 to 25 is something people of all ages should pay attention to. I have

seen hundreds of news stories detailing suicides of people who were

taking or recently taking antidepressants. In real life, people of all

ages have committed suicide and other acts of violence against

themselves and others while taking antidepressants.

In 2004 the FDA put a Black Box warning on antidepressants because of

the suicide risk they pose to children 18 and under. It took two more

years of lobbying by those who had lost husbands and wives to

antidepressants before the FDA extended that warning up to age 25 for

people taking antidepressants.

They had to overcome fierce counter-lobbying by drug companies and

psychiatrists. Maybe in another five years that Black Box warning will

be extended to the many elderly people psychiatry is now pushing on to

antidepressants.

Despite the dangers antidepressants pose, the Ohio Department of Mental

Health under Hogan is actively assisting getting the TeenScreen

Mental Health survey into Ohio public schools. The result is that

thousands of kids are being newly diagnosed and misdiagnosed with mental

illness and put on antidepressants.

A recent TeenScreen suicide and mental health survey done on 71

Mansfield, Ohio, ninth-graders resulted in 39 previously normal teens,

or 55 percent of them, being sent to a mental health clinician for

follow-up interviews. An Internet search of the word TeenScreen will

educate and prepare parents on what TeenScreen is and whether they want

to chance having their school child falsely labeled with a mental

illness and put on suicide-inducing antidepressants..
