It was the most extensive compilation that I came across.

It's only extensive if it's accurate. It's clear that it is not from the first few links.

"And I used to hear the correlation/causation argument from the drug researchers."

Probably because it's true.

It's only extensive if it's accurate. It's clear that it is not from the first few links.

The Wiese story, the first one, is definitely true. IIRC, I read it in the Washington Times. Of the 8 examples that you gave, SSRIs were involved with 7 of the cases.

I got bored after that. Surely they could put better evidence on the front end of the list.

What do you expect from the popular press, an article of Healy's quality? From the Healy et al. PLoS article: "DH has been an expert witness in nine cases involving antidepressants and suicide or violence. He has given views that the antidepressant was unlikely to be involved in approximately 100 further cases."

He has obviously had a change of heart. The popular press should only begin a serious inquiry followed by a serious professional investigation such as Healy's. IIRC, one of my links mention variations in cytochrome P450 show succeptibility to increased sensitvity to SSRIs, and another they asked patients with increased suicidal ideation to have their genotypes checked which showed at least two different genotypes. They didn't specify what proteins the genes coded for. I think it is obvious some folks should not get normal SSRIs dosages because of what is in their genes. They metabolize it too slowly and develop toxic levels, IMHO.
