The depression each human being experiences is as unique as this persons brain. Im sure suicidal thoughts, or a worsening of ones current suicidal thoughts are caused by different experiences each person has when taking the medication. In some cases a suicide might very well be completed simply because the patient has enough energy induced by the med to follow through with it. Other cases it might be the worsening of depression a patient experiences as a result of the med not being right for them. I can see Sexual Dysfunction caused by the treatment resulting in suicide. Not being able to perform for a partner can have very negative effects in ones wellbeing. A healthy libido is a major part of a happy life for many in their "mating years". And in the rare cases sexual dysfunction persists long after an antidepressant is stopped, im sure this can
Be a terrible thing to experience.But to sum up, im thinking there are many reasons why one is pushed to take their life as a result of taking an antidepressant.
This is from Drugs.com:Antidepressants may have a role in inducing worsening of depression and the emergence of suicidality in certain patients during the early phases of treatment. An increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults (aged 18 to 24 years) with major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders has been reported with short-term use of antidepressant drugs.
Adult and pediatric patients receiving antidepressants for MDD, as well as for psychiatric and nonpsychiatric indications, have reported symptoms that may be precursors to emerging suicidality, including anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, aggressiveness, impulsivity, akathisia, hypomania, and mania. Causality has not been established
