Wait, wait, wait. All of these medications treat depression. Doesn't it make sense that these patients would have a higher rate of suicide?

Of course--statistically biased sample.

I was thinking more along the lines of "If I can't find my medicine, I'll kill myself!" Same thing.

If they REALLY wanted to be helpful, they could try to separate out the people taking these meds NOT for depression but for anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder.

You people can try to close your eyes to it, but I have seen it. I have experienced it. The initial problem was not depression, but anxiety. Be extra cautious with these meds.
