You have to keep things in perspective!. Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death in adolescents!. About 3!.4% of people with depression will kill themselves eventually!. It can be a little difficult to calculate but probably less than 1 in 4500 adolescents treated with an antidepressant commits suicide shortly afterward starting the medication!. Overall the net benefit is clearly in favor of treating depressed adolescents with a combination of therapy and medications!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It certainly does!. Science is starting to realize that antidepressants are no better than placebos!. So of course they're going to produce crazy effects in the meantime!. http://www!.guardian!.co!.uk/society/2008/f!.!.!.

Edit: umm yea, it's a published study, if only you'd google it you would figure out that it's explained on hundreds of webpages!. I've even talked to my psychiatrist about it!. It's taking your "thousands of published studies" and picking out the documents they LEFT OUT!. Nice try, sorry!. Get informedWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, but there are reasons for this!. Part of it deals with the fact that teenage brains are still in a state of development!. There are also other issues about how to define depression in teens as they present differently than adults!.

Anti-depressants are no better than placebos!? LOL!.!.!.umm!.!.!.yeah!.!.!.okay!. Whatever floats your boat!. I'll take that one published story on a website and use it to trump thousands of research studies!. Weee!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
