Aren't you essentially saying the exact opposite to what the FDA has spend the last year concluding ??I wish Larry Hoover were here to provide a links to his treatises of this question.

ADs have reduced the rate of adolescent suicide, despite the fact that they have produced suicide in a small percentage.
1000 suicidal youths
700 AD preventions
10 AD inductionsYield: Reduced rate of suicide when treated with antidepressants. Right?
