Re: Anti-Depressants Don't Increase Suicide Risk! (2006 Study)

[Guest guest]

Sharon,

Yes it is a slap in the face. As usual the psychiatrists will come out with

painful to read studies that don't prove anything and then make some amazing

claim about how in fact antidepressants are the super duper solution to

everything (again). No one will read the study because it's too hard to get

through and everyone will believe them on face value. A pox on them all.

Of course since the science was never there in the first place what they are

really playing is a PR campaign to save their profession.

Jim

Is this a slap in the face or what? I suppose those who have

committed suicide aren't here to debate this issue. How convenient.

Suicidality Reduced With Treatment

Antidepressants do not increase the risk of suicide attempts or

death by suicide in adults, according to a study in the January 2006

issue of The American Journal of Psychiatry. Researchers at the

Group Health ative in Seattle found that antidepressants

reduce suicide risk significantly in the first month of treatment.

" Our findings show that, fortunately, suicide attempts and death by

suicide are rare following the initiation of antidepressants, " said

Dr. Greg Simon, lead researcher, in a press release. " The period

right after people start taking antidepressant medication is not a

period of increased risk. In fact, risk after starting medication is

lower than before. "

" There may be subgroups of people who become

more agitated or suicidal after taking these drugs, and those people

should seek help from a doctor or therapist right away if that

happens. "
