I suspect that there are many instances that do not get reported. Do you have any idea how one would go about finding out if adverse effects of drugs have been reported to the FDA?

>people do die in psychiatry...but you have to remember that in alot of those cases its the disease that kills and not the cure....people die in oncology too but its not because of the chemo in most cases, its because of the cancer..depression is a serious illness! and the worst part is that people who suffer from it are ashamed of it and dont want to talk about how they are feeling..
in my opinion, the problem is that we desperately need to improve our research of mental health issues..advances have been made but we as a society need to drag this disease into the light, remove the stigma, and begin finding more effective and less dangerous treatments...antidepressants are a start but we can do much, much better!
