Or, certainly a contributing factor. I have no problem with the idea that there are people who react badly to one antidepressant or another. Depending on the pre-existing psychobiological substrate of an individual, this can be violent, either against others or against oneself. I see more people have a depressive reaction than a hostile one. Statistics are important, and have not been adequately synthesized to be able to tell just how often such a reaction occurs, and what percentage of those are suicidal or homicidal. People without problems don't report their experiences. People with problems do. For this reason alone, one must be careful when evaluating the numbers presented by websites like eHealthMe.
