Hi there,

Glad you posted that 'balancing' article.I didn't have time to comment on the first,but my own thoughts were that it seems self-contradictary, not to mention slightly alarmist.If an SSRI increases seratonin availability,lending itself to positive thought (which the authors concede will lead to beneficial effects on cancer- attributable to seratonin action on cells- then why make mention of a tenuous, theoretical risk that seems to negate itself in practice!? My lowly, non-scientific opinion is that, through understandable zeal at the prospect of attacking cancer from a new angle, they made leaps of 'extrapolation' in the negative direction in terms of ssri's, which could equally be interpreted positively, and perhaps should be in the absence of anything like proof supporting the contrary interpretation!?
