An excellent article about the relationship between antidepressants and suicide in teenagers. The CDC's recent report about the increase in suicide in youths and young adults sites a reduction in the prescription rate of anti-depressants precisely because of this relationship. Every case needs the care a doctor gives to an individual. There is really no other way to deal with this disease. This is a good summary of the recent CDC Report: http://www.news-medical.net/?id=29571 From the article: "Experts suspect that the rise in depression during adolescent years could be one possible reason for the rise in suicide rates among teens. They also say a decline in the use of antidepressants in those age groups might be a factor, due to concerns that the drugs may increase suicide risk for a subset of young people."
