I didn't dismis the study because I never said it was completely inacurate. I was simply implying that the study needs to evalutated under the correct pretenses.

I don't know what you are trying to say. Do you honestly think that this study is the one and only embodiment containing evidence on the subject of antidepressants and suicide? Like I said before, there are many ways to interprate the data.

You can discover truths, and truths can exist outside the confines of a specific clinical trial. I never said we had the data (or that it was at all possible) to rigorously proove my conclusions. The highlights of the last decade of studies paints a perfectly clear picture to me, I am not suggesting that you must reach the same conclusion.

>I disagree with your scientific arguments, not >your hypothesis.

Thats the problem. You are not accepting my argument because it is not detailed according to your paramters. I on the other hand, have no desire, or need to proove my point in such a manner. I only intent to satisfy my self.

>It is unethical to conduct the studies that you >believe would prove your point.

Yet such studies are occuring as we speak.
