Sorry, once I got to reading that information, I got really carried away.There's a lot of information if you google, unfortunately, the stats vary from site to site as to whether rates are affected by ADs. From what I can gather, it appears that most sites are saying there appears to be "no direct correlation" between the use of SSRIs and the teen suicide rate.
I still maintain that it depends on the person, and whether they are accurately dosed with the correct medication for what ails them. Of course, I'm no scientist, I'm just going by my own experience, which is basically of no value to anyone other than myself (and my own kids should they ever need anything other than their ADD meds).
