Has the uptick in teen suicides coincided with the distribution of antidepressants?
It seems like EVERYbody, from preschoolers on up, is on some sort of personality altering drugs. Every other person identifies as “depressed,” and it’s not hard to get a doc to write off on that.
It’s well known that antidepressants can lead to thoughts of suicide. I never knew, or heard of, one single teen suicide when I was growing up. However, it seems to have become an epidemic over the last 20 years, which coincides with the increased use of prescription drugs.
