Insane mutterings from the Left.

Although the article is a big vague and tangential in linking behavior modifying drugs e.g. antidepressants to suicide, and doesn't go much further than admitting that there is debate, it’s hardly liberal ramblings. The connection between psychiatric medications and suicidal behavior has been noted numerous times in the literature, and there is a large body of anecdotal evidence in the popular media that points in that direction. It may not be strictly causal, but is it a coincidence that nearly every time we hear about a school shooting or high profile suicide that these medications seem to be involved? One tidbit the article mentions is the tendency for drug manufacturers to bury suicide statistics deep within their reports, inaccessible to the casual eye. Even drug companies know that where there's smoke there may be fire.

Okay. I'll bite.

5th Century Xtians killed themselves?

Looks to me like confusing correlation with causation.

People with chronic illnesses have higher rates of depression...

People with chronic illnesses have access to more prescription drugs.

Doesn’t necessarily mean that they cause suicidal thought.
