My son has Asperger's Syndrome. He takes adderal and prozac, and it's made his life manageable. The wild rages, violent outbursts, self destructive moods are about 80% diminished. It's very likely he would have had to have been institutionalized without them. I only pass along this personal information to help other parents who might be struggling with similar situations. Don't give up, keep trying.

People with depression tend to be suicidal anyway, so it's not surprising if they commit suicide. I can't imagine anything more devastating than the suicide of a child. You'd blame yourself, you'd look for some rational explanation, and there is no rational explanation for suicide. It's not a rational act.

"Critics of the medicines noted that 9 of the 10 task force members had significant financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry, although such ties are common among prominent researchers. The panel said no industry money financed the report."

Why am I not surprised?
