People with depression tend to be suicidal anyway, so it's not surprising if they commit suicide.

Well, yes. But there are those who will claim that these drugs cause people to commit suicide.

I've never quite understood their argument, but it seems to stem from an ideological opposition to the use of medication to handle mental issues. I don't know how many of them also deny the existence of ADHD, but their approach to the topic seems similar.

I suspect that you're right that there's an ideological element to the opposition of the use of antidepressants. I can't fathom it, myself.
