That should be "suicidal ideation" - not "suicide".
"The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in its review and meta-analysis of 24 placebo-controlled trials assessing use of antidepressant medications among more than 4400 children and adolescents, concluded that these medications pose a 2-fold (4% vs 2%) increased risk for suicidal behavior or suicidal ideation, although no suicides were reported."
